If that's the case then why would VISA complain about credit card theft
and say that's one of the reasons their interest rates are so high? More
to the point, what is the 1.75??% fee for then? (And why is the PayPal
fee 3% - even higher than the CC fee - for that matter.) If that's all
just for "processing" and provides no protection from criminal use of CCs,
doesn't that make accepting CCs rather risky - especially over the internet?
It also doesn't jibe with what an upper-level VISA rep. told me when I was
disputing a charge on my card. She explained that if a merchant gets your
CC info. and puts a charge through, VISA can request clarification/correction
(in case it's an error) but if the merchant doesn't want to give a refund,
it's up to the cardholder to take it up with the merchant. Apparently the
biggest problem in this area is kids using their parent's credit cards.
