Some will....Some will not. Unfortunately people have been brainwashed to use Paypal so it's very difficult.

I have experience with this, and yes it does drop somewhat with a merchant account. It drops a lot more with a Skrill account. I trust in what MM78 says.

30% drop in sales? 60%?
Just curious how a merchant account fairs. A few big sellers in some categories have gone this route and feedback seems to maintain.

I trust MM78! One of the many brilliant members here.

Yes, I have tested this with an account where i ONLY sold with a Merchants account and it the sales were really low. For me personally I had a 40% drop in customers....Now my percentage drop is not going to apply to everyone but that was my experience.
