As readers of THR know, I started East Side Gun Shop and opened about 2 weeks ago. I shopped and shopped for a merchant card processor (the guys who allow you to take visa/mastercard). Found one with very low rates, no monthly statement fee, and no minimum. IMS to be specific. I have had them for 1 month and didnt do any cards so didnt have any statemetns. Today the new statement comes in the mail with the note that "because of fee increases by MC and Visa" they will have a $10/mo statement fee and $25/mo minimum. Hello? I sign on and 30 days later they change the entire fee structure. No, I dont think so. Anyone else have this experience, and what do others do for merchant services. Thanks.
