How many of you here have actually read your credit card merchant account
information as well as the customer credit card information? Did you know
that the customer can do a charge back on an item on their bill up to a year
later and there is nothing you can do about it, unless you have done
everything the credit card company tells you to do? If the customer claims
someone stole their credit card number for that charge unless you can prove
otherwise they get the credit and the merchant gets a charge back.
You are taking a huge risk as a merchant when you accept credit cards. It is
the pricing of doing business on the internet and the price of accepting
credit cards.
