    Heard of www.payatrader.com? No monthly fees and charges from 2.3%. For all sorts of reasons a good number of customers prefer to pay by card.
    Looked into this but they only pay you once a week. So they sit on your cash earning interest on it and payments to your account are delayed. I guess you'll say its no different to a cheque as they take time to clear and cost too but I get most of my customers to do an internet bank transfer these days. Much easier all round.

    Yep but it gets round OPs immediate problem. He'll probably be prepared to let the trader add the PP fees in order to be able to simply make use of the credit card he wants to. Of course OP will have to have a PP account although trader doesn't have to.

    Looking at it from this one off scenario basis.
