I think they should just make paypal (or the like) a common payment option.... stop charging the vendor MAJOR $$$ just for the service to have a payment link on his site....
Rather make the 1% service fee and make it a common practice.... than charge 7% fee (which sometimes eats up the whole markup of a vendor) and have the vendor say "i dont WANT that service"
But i agree its busy getting much better <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />.. in SA we now starting to deploy MOBILE credit card facilities... where you get a software upgrade for your cellphone... and you can do credit card transactions through your cellphone... no more credit card machines needed... with ideas like that happening, its only a matter of time before they bring in facilies where you can (as the client) phone in, give the vendor's "dealer number" and amount, and the bank will sent the confirmation directly to the vendor (maybe via sms / text) or something similar....
Now that would be much better, since nobody else had your credit card number, and the vendor gets confirmation directly from the bank...
but <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> lets see how happy people will be in 5 years time <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
