There are some stores that put a $10 limit on credit cards. But most tunings are probably in the $75 - $150 range. Plus, as one person said, accepting credit cards helps bring in more repair and regulating business. But irregardless of that, the charge for credit card is one of the expenses that should be incorporated into all of your work, just as tools are incorporated into your fees. I don't think anyone added a surcharge to a tuning fee after they bought a ETD. <div style="CLEAR: both">Willem (Wim) Blees, RPT Piano Tuner/Technician Honolulu, HI Author of The Business of Piano Tuning available from Potter Press www.pianotuning.com</div> -----Original Message----- From: Paul T Williams <pwilliams4@unlnotes.unl.edu> To: Pianotech List <pianotech@ptg.org> Sent: Tue, 15 Jan 2008 4:09 am Subject: RE: Accepting credit cards <div id=AOLMsgPart_2_8645a21a-0945-402c-8f11-6110636ec65e> Just before coming to UNL, I considered starting up a credit card choice, but I was going to put a minimum limit to it i.e. Nothing under $250 worth of work.  Credit card co's charge a percentage of the bill, so you may consider charging more if the customer wishes to charge it.  I think I heard something like 3% for the credit card people. my 2 cents Paul </div> <div class="AOLPromoFooter"> <hr style="margin-top:10px;" /> More new features than ever.
