Credit Card Processing Fees & PCI Compliance

I would like to thank Janet Wolf from The B&B Team for the excellent article she wrote about credit card processing fees and other issues that we merchants have to constantly deal with, and in most cases, quite blindly because the system is unfair.  So, most of us keeping on paying the high fees because the system is not accountable to anyone?  If you own a business you can’t afford not to read the article.   You might also want to talk with Tom Weiskotten of TrustOne about how to reduce your credit card processing fees.  He sounds genuinely fair and honest.
