Hi Chuck first of all thank you for your considerations. Unfortunately having a merchant account here (Europe) is not as easy as I thought. the thing is that all the times I went to a bank asking to start with the process they were telling me "why do you want this? your volumes are so low, stay with paypal..." But if I do not have a decent merchant account, how should I start accepting the money with credit cards? It sounds like a chicken-egg problem... At the same time I feel (not 100%) that something is going lost with paypal and that is stopping the business growing. I had issues with walled gardens and when I do the tests with the sandbox I have the feeling something is not working there. I know it's not the same system as the production one, but right now the sandbox is giving me a lot of issues...
