Hi,

I have a question 'Is there a way to receive money in my account from customers using credit cards etc..without using an online merchant?'

Also 'How do online merhcants work exactly do they charge a certain percentage of your transaction or do they have a flt out montly fee?'

Finally 'I want to make a website similar to getafreelancer.com , is there a script out there with a similar system to that?'

Thanks,

PS: I wrote out a much more detailed post before this but then it said I needed 5 post to use VB code -_-ll I was so angry. I mean whats the point?

PSS: Its taken me half an hour to post this one thread, writing and re-writing!

Finally 'I want to make a website similar to getafreelancer.com , is there a script out there with a similar system to that?'

Thank you,
But is it possible for you to answer my other questions.
Your help is appreciated.

"I have a question 'Is there a way to receive money in my account from customers using credit cards etc..without using an online merchant?"

paypal.com and 2chekout.com will allow you to receive money in your account using credit cards......

They will charge you a percentage per transaction and a monthly fee.

So there is no possible way to receive money in your account using a script. Is it possible to set up something with your bank?

You need some sort of software to process the transaction, yes. But you also need a merchant account or a "3rd party processor". If you're in the United States, you should probably obtain a merchant account, or start with just Paypal. If you're in another country, you may need to use a 3rd party processor.

With a merchant account, you need: merchant account, payment gateway (like authorize.net, linkpoint, etc), and some software to accept customer payments (like a shopping cart).

With a "3rd party processor", you just need an account with the processing company (Paypal, 2 Checkout, etc) and software to accept customer payments.
