[pianotech] accepting credit card for service calls

[Dean May]

In one complex here we've got a maximum security, medium security and a
camp. All 3 have pianos. It wasn't a bad gig, 3 pianos every year or two,
plus extra money for the extra time required to go through security. But we
don't take credit cards anymore and they don't do PayPal anymore. 
 
I've done volunteer work at the chapel so I already had volunteer badge and
clearance to get in.

Dean,
 Too bad, I tune a lot of pianos in the federal prison system. <G>

List,
   Of late I've been asked more often if I accept credit cards for service
call payment .
 I have set up  up a paypal merchant account for my tuning lever sales and
yesterday used the account  to send an invoice from the clients  home to her
email . She paid whilst I was still reassembling the piano . The fee from
paypal is  3%  with immediate access to the funds through a debit card.  
 So my question dear list friends is about your experiences either way  with
credit card payments - fees etc .
 Thanks in advance,
 Tom Driscoll
