"How Can You Do This?"

Whenever a product or service seems too good to be true a lot of questions get asked:

- "How can you guys do this?"
- "Is this legal? Why can't we just charge the extra fees ourselves?"

There are many other questions that get asked but those seem to be the most common...accept of course for "How do I sign up!?", and that of course is my favorite question of them all.

As you know Simply Easier Payments offers the best service of all, a free one! We are able to eliminate the high cost of accepting credit card payments for businesses because we work as a third party provider, very similar to the Post Office and delivery companies like UPS. As such, we are allowed to charge the credit card holder an additional Security & Delivery fee for using our secure payment service.

This is legal because once again, we are a third party provider unrelated to the actual business taking the payment. The business itself cannot charge an additional fee for credit card paying customers because of regulations and compliance issues laid out by the credit card associations.

I just wanted to cover some of the most common questions I get from inquiring businesses. Looks like a great weekend coming up, weather wise, so I hope everyone can get out there and enjoy the sun!
