Update on Accepting Pay Pal for Credit Card Payments

Someone asked me to explain further regarding the effect of accepting only Pay Pal as the means for processing credit card payments with your online store. I have edited my post “Top Reasons Online Businesses Fail” to help explain my remarks about Pay Pal payments. So please check that post if you have interest as well.

I will say that I like Pay Pal and I feel very secure with their services when I use them, or when my customers use them. But in my experience, people want to use a direct credit card payment to to pay for their purchases. So while I do offer Pay Pal, I have a separate merchant account for credit card payments, and that is how over 90% of my sales are paid for.
