I'm trying to find a credit card merchant for a small business. But the fees all look costly for a startup. Gateway fee + statement fee + monthly minimum + percentage... And I would be billing recurring fees, which seems to cost even more.

Is there no better option?

Use this http://www.linkbrander.com/go/48347 , if your product costs upto $250 or less. They only take a percentage of money on your sales and they even provide you with perhaps the most extensive affiliate network available on the internet. In other words, they will even make the sales for you and all they will keep is a small percentage of money on your sales.

I would normally not publicize my company in this way, but I want to let you know - I represent a credit card processor, and would be more than happy to discuss your concerns. You can review our website at http://www.creditcardsnj.com or call us - anyone in the sales department should be able to help you. (# is on the site).

Good luck, and if I cannot help you, hopefully someone can.
