Pay Pal Here for Smart phone

I wasn't ever going to write about this.  I've thought about it, but felt it wasn't any of my business to mention it, but  when a customer mentioned it, I thought, maybe it's time we have this…Continue

"Excellent post!  Always good to address the stinkier parts of our trade :) I totally agree with wearing loosely woven linens and cottons.  They let the damp escape and dry quickly.  Fitted shirts can keep the damp spots under your…"

Pay Pal Here for Smart phone

It looks like Payapal has gotten into the smart phone "square" merchant business. I was just on their site. I don't know much about it, but it looks like they're only charging 2.7%. It also looks like somehow they can scan in checks that you might take. I tried to watch the video, and it didn't come up. They've been working on our power poles, so my service here has been intermittent. Maybe someone out there knows more than me.
