Regardless of the amount, jimbo, I've chosen not to accept credit cards. I still stand by my points as presented.

A friend of mine who built hospital tables sold $40,000 of merchandise. The customer would only pay with a credit card which Tony did not accept credit cards. Rather than lose the order he talked his friend into using his credit card acceptance. Long story short. The card was not the customers, it was stolen and the customer disappeared as did the table. His friend's insurance did not cover the loss because his friend was not to certified to use a second hand contract. Like my old Buddy Bill I also owned a business for 36 years and also never took credit cards.
