I currently use Payment Processing and they have been great so far. They are fast with the support which is always good to have.

You can also lower the discount rate. I was able to get it down a bit.
Just read your post. Is this the service now being offered on the Homeaway site?
How do you get them to lower the discount rate?
tell them that you are shopping around and there are lower rates. you may have to find some lower rates and fax it to them. i ask every 6 months now i'm told i'm at whole sale. i'm with encore and they have been great.
I use Square https://squareup.com/ because there's no monthly fee & it uses my iPhone. I can be anywhere, take an inquiry call, & process a transaction on the spot.
what % are you paying. i looked into it and it was very high. you may want to shop around.
Hi there,
For those interested, here's a blog post about HomeAway's new online reservation management software designed for individual homeowners. It includes more detailed info about HomeAway's currently online payment options.
Hope this is helpful!

It looks to me like Credit Card Machine by Paynet Systems might be the best deal. They charge $10 a month for a home based business and 2.1% fee for each manually entered transaction lower than Square. You can enter manually either on your phone or computer for a home based business. Since we don't normally have the credit cards in hand, we would qualify as a home based business. Although the rate is low, the monthly fee could make them more expensive for some of us.
They are getting setup for eCheck sometime in the future. And, they say they put the money into your linked account within 48 hours which is faster than HA.
You can charge a $.50 to verify credit cards if only using for damage control and you can send invoices. Not sure yet about leases though.
They say they encript the CC info and Square does not.
Might be worth checking into..
