3rd party will run you between 12.5 - 16% depending on which company and your volume
Merchant account will run you between 5 - 8% depending on volume and past trans history.
Gottis, no - you can actually get an EU merchant account with very little monthly volume. Its the Asian banks that normally like high volume only.
Heck I even have one bank that allows for startup companies (meaning no past transaction history and startup volume)!
Have questions? give me a shout and I'll answer
