    I remember Paul posting something similar about this with another company

    https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/credit-card-reader

    I would feel a whole lot safer with Paypal tbh

    Have signed up for more updates

    If and when it's launched it will be very handy for small businesses.

    Definitely where I work

    Hmmm, good point. On our machine in work you can swipe as well as using the pin option? But, saying that I haven't took a payment that way in a good while

    We have had same machine for years and they are sending us a new one shortly so maybe as you say the swipe option will be gone

    You can do that through the PayPal app

    We have PayPal option in our place

    PayPal had an online Q+A couple months ago about this

    I asked them when it would be coming to Ireland

    They have no plans to release it here just yet:rolleyes:

    When the customer rings for a car they just ask for the PayPal address and send payment that way, our prices are fixed so it's easier

    It's not very popular with ordinary runs, mostly used for airport runs or company clients as you can use their invoicing facility also, saves a lot of hassle

    Our cars will be getting new systems shortly and I was really hoping this card reader would be available here

    Would you believe it's mostly the ordinary joe soap that wouldn't use PayPal that would tip not the corporates or VIPs
