i have seen the following authorize.net resellers on this BB through some searches.

totalmerchantservices.com
ezmerchantaccounts.com
harbor.net

does anyone have any experience with these?
can anyone recommend any other resellers?
generally speaking does it really matter who the reseller is or is the main concern authorize.net's services?

0activation.com sounds good.

I don't think it matters who the reseller is except maybe for the amount they mark it up.

For a directory listing of resellers, go to:

http://www.authorizenet.com/reseller/directory.php

I don't know what you mean by reseller, but charge.com uses authorized.net and the real time software is only $195 whereas with 0activation.com, the real time software is $495. The discount rate for charge.com is pretty reasonable and they don't require any minimum transaction fee per month (and if I am not mistaken, 0activation requires you to have $1000 volume of sale per month, otherwise you will be charged $25/mo minimum transaction fee).

I have just applied with charge.com and waiting for my application to arrive.

cheers,

I can vouch for EZMerchantAccounts.com. Call the 800# on their site and talk to Barry. He's the kind of fellow that doesn't mind answering questions, and he's been around the 'net a while and is pretty knowledgable about most aspects of e-commerce.

Anyone know of a authorize.net reseller with no setup cost? Thanks.

CDGcommerce.com

Another vote for CDGCommerce here. Chris and company run a great business over there. I wouldn't consider using anyone else...

cdgcommerce.com - amazing customer support. We've been with them for around 2 years, I think, with no problems at all.

I currently use totalmerchantservices for my reseller and have not had any problems with them. Also, they were not as critical on my merchant application as Wells Fargo and this helped to expedite my signup process. Support is also fast and never had any bad experiences. Been using 5 months now.

Hope this helps!

I also recommend CDGCommerce, Chris was very helpful with the setup and answering a myriad of questions I had prior to signup.

cdgcommerce.com definately.
