accepting visa and mastercard?

I'm confused.... did the son have the mom's permission to use the card or not ?



If he did, then what's the issue ? He bought something, and whether mom knew what it was or not (hell he could have bought a Leupold FX-II 4x33mm Rifle Scope and she might not know what that is either), she would have had to pay it, regardless.



If he didn't have permission, then 1) you're supposed to check the cardholder's name and signature, and 2) you should then file a police report for fraud, yes ?



Sorry, I don't mean to come off as a clown, but your circumstance sounds like something that's kind of your own fault... and if you still got paid for half of the work, I don't see why you'd be dead against credit card acceptance based on that alone.



One man show or not, don't you run into people who want to use plastic (be it credit card or interac) ? Again, I ask because I have yet to have a single customer pay me in cash, no one carries it anymore.

I agree, something doesn't sound right.



But on the use of credit cards, I've only had like 2 people pay me with a CC through paypal. Everyone else has been cash primarily or check. Probably half of them have it on them, the other half go to the bank while I'm working. People still carry cash.

Us Canadians must be plastic-addicts, lol. Even any of my friends or family don't carry cash, actually neither do it. Often I'll pay for a $1 newspaper with my interac card.
 
I dont have a big call for credit cards...I gave her her money back. I did not make it a police issue. My life is VERY simple. In business you do the best you can to make decisions that dont complicate things. Its OK to back down...more of us need to do it more often GOD knows. CCs are NOT for me. I do take checks ONLY from people I know. A GREAT majority pay ---- if you know what I am saying. I like it that way. My labor is very intense.
 
Thanks again Jason, I'm very happy to finally be able to give my customer the option of paying with their credit card. Adding gift certificates also seemed like a good idea so I went on and added it to my homepage.
