Mastercard Fees !!!!!!!!
 

I have noticed that the big U.S processors have been very quiet so far in relation to the new Mastercard fees, which are, from reports so far - $1,000 registration + $500 per year.

Apart from some advice via Paypal, we have been told very little.

Is this because:

A. the U.S IPSP's are waiting for us to fully digest the Visa fees first, because they think that non-U.S webmasters would surely seek an alternative International processor?

B. they haven't been informed by Mastercard yet?

C. there are no such fees?


Any comments?

I would guess 'A' - but I am not sure...

If I were Mastercard I would kind of keep a low profile for awhile.. There in a little trouble right now with the Gov. and a few state's I'm pretty sure... not 100% sure

Mastercard is double Visa's rate b/c of penis envy.

I've had a 'guts full' of billing issues...

A.) Because it's all merely facets of the same gem, but must always appear as different turds in the bowl...
