What should I watch out for when getting a merchant account?
Many merchant providers are asking for full payment upfront before they send you application packages and actually approving you with a merchant account. Do Not conduct business with these providers, for if they cannot approve you with a merchant account, they often will not refund all of the funds and charge you processing fees for attempting to approve you with a merchant account.
