Could someone list out the various types of accounts? I couldn't find this documented anywhere on the eNom site. Currently I know there are the following:

[-] $6.95 retail
[-] $6.95 reseller
[-] $8.14 retail
[-] $8.95 reseller

Also, what do you need to setup each of the above mentioned accounts?

The base account is $6.95 anything that is created above that is priced by whoever owns the ETP account. $8.95 is the lowest reseller account anyone can create without a deal from enom. There are no real special "types" of accounts other than retail or reseller.

So basically $6.95 reseller accounts can create retail accounts of any value (including $6.95) and reseller accounts that are minimum $8.95?

No. Even current resellers with $6.95 pricing are NOT able to create reseller sub-accounts with pricing lower then $8.95.

Only eNom (or someone with a special deal from eNom) is able to create reseller accounts with pricing lower then $8.95.

However, you may find a few for sale on ebay, etc...

I was actually referring to retail accounts. What's the lowest retail account that can be created?

Yes, there are a few $6.95 reseller accounts that were created before enom changed their rule. Otherwise, to get $6.95 rates you need to deposit $6950 to enom.

Alright, since the reseller part is settled, how about retail accounts? What's the lowest retail account can be created?

$8.14 +/- 1-2 cents.

Thank you for that information, zoli. May I know how you got those figures (from what source)?

This is how you calculate the lowest retail rate:
Your retail price >= (Your wholesale price + 0.95) / 0.97
(6.95+0.95) / 0.97 = 8.14432989690721649484536082474227 (according to Windows calculator... :))

That makes perfect sense; thank you very much. I'd just like to know where you pulled the numbers 0.95 and 0.97.

So just to clarify; an ETP can create a $8.14 retail account and $8.95 reseller account, and that's the lowest it can get?

Thanks once again ;)

Enom charge 3% + 0.95 on every credit card processing. 0.97 = 100% - 3%.
Yes, $8.14 and $8.95 are the lowest rates.
