Most of the companies that process Internet merchant accounts
don't allow Internet debit cards. (You have to be a retail
merchant, with the debit card in your hand.) They don't
say why this is, but I presume it is a security issue. I
wouldn't be surprised to learn that it is harder to recover
from a fraudulent transaction when a debit card is used than
from a fraudulent credit card transaction.
In any case, in a quick search, I couldn't find any merchant
account that would allow me to process debit cards in my
business, unless you show up in my bedroom office. :-)
Cheers,
David
