Star Wars Memorabilia Merchant Accounts Info

• Q: How Can You Actually Do Credit Card Transactions?
• A: Take Advantage of Merchant Accounts!

So how do you accept money over the Internet?

If you want to sell on the Internet, you can become a merchant in your own right and take the much higher percent of the sales that marketing your own Star Wars passion produces. The answer can lie in several areas - affiliate programs, or becoming a merchant yourself with the possibility of accepting credit cards online and processing customer orders.

To Sell Your Own Products

If you decide you simply want to sell Star Wars-themed electronic products that you've created (be sure to research trademarks first, of course!), and not go through the hassle of opening your own personal merchant account, you can visit sites like ClickBank - they give to individuals like you and me the ability not only to sell our products, but also to set up affiliate programs as well.

Additionally, PayPal lets you engage in transactions as well.

If you'd like to go all the way, you can consider becoming a merchant yourself.

How To Choose Merchant Accounts

Many factors go into this - the comission percentages, the rates, chargebacks, fees and more. A great FAQ for criteria for choosing a Merchant Account can be found here - I urge you to check it out.

I've been a merchant now for 4 years and use EMS 2000. Their customer service and rates are superb.
