Hey wanted to contribute what I found last week and it works wonderfully! My mechanic actually turned me on to this when he came to fix my car and I didn't have cash on me. Its called Square. Its a credit card reader and processor for your phone. You just swipe it and it shows the screen for the client to sign on the phone with there finger or one of those pin thingies and that's it. Money was in my account in 2 days. A little cheaper than paypal. And I also like that you can key in the number as well even though the fee is higher.

That way you can get a client to sign a credit card authorization and just punch them in monthly with the contract too. Anyway for those who want to try it out, their site is http://www.squareup.com

I've posted about this before. I use it and love it!

I just signed up for an account on Square and waiting for my reader to come in the mail. Can't wait to try it out! Thanks for posting that you like it as I wasn't sure about using it on my phone. I suppose I will need to get virus protection on my phone now too!!

I'll be using this I think it's fantastic. I looked all over for a way to avoid Paypal's fees.

My step-father started using it a couple of weeks ago. It's good to see it's a legitimate thing! I think I will order it too!

Just wanted to follow up, I've been using it and really like it. I use a combination of this and Google Checkout. Both have been problem free and wonderful.

Awesome. This is right up my alley.

I used it for a garage sale I was holding ($5 min ) 'cuz we were selling some antique furniture as well as the usual 'stuff.' I love the service. No problems yet.
