I'm pretty sure it was only $99 when I got one in July.
- Elijha on 07/10/2014 - 10:57
  
  That was a pre order or intro offer or something wasn't it?
  - jv on 07/10/2014 - 10:59
    
    Possibly, I just saw it on another post here…

  Mostly retail shops like officeworks are sale it $139.

    It's also $139 online if you remove -99promo from the end of the URL :P

  When I was looking at Officeworks around 2 months ago they were $99, I was put off by the ill informed salesmen telling me that because they sell them for $99 you never need to pay fee's with them…

  Would you mind sharing how long it took them to ship it?

    Ok, after looking at the link provided by Kamoi, scott mentioned about using https instead of unsecured, "http" and my kaspersky didn't prompt any more security issue. OP may want to add "https" to the link so not to confuse other, like myself?
    - andyholloway on 07/10/2014 - 17:27
      
      Not sure if a Mod did it or it was already like that, but it is https now :-)
    - Utopian on 08/10/2014 - 12:53
      
      So…. Kaspersky was the problem.

Didn't realise it requires bluetooth pairing, I imagine most customers would prefer the convenience of paypass/normal swipe instead of fiddling with bluetooth.

  I don't think it's designed for supermarkets to use…
  
  It works great for those who have a business and need to provide for the occasional credit card payment on site…
  - andyholloway on 07/10/2014 - 11:05
    
    Agreed, it is so perfect for businesses that have market stalls occasionally and cant justify the monthly fees on EFTPOS machines.
    - jv on 07/10/2014 - 11:10
      
      There's all minimal 'fiddling'. Once you've set it up the first time, you just turn on the device and it pairs within about 15 secs, all you do is launch the app and use it…
    - noyesmaybeok on 08/10/2014 - 00:20
      
      EFTPOS? Was just credit card & visa/mastercard debit from memory.
      Moving forward most people will probably have those, at the moment seems a fair few don't.

  I'm not entirely sure, but I don't think customers need to use bluetooth to make a payment?
  - jv on 07/10/2014 - 11:12
    
    they don't… bluetooth pairs the device with the phone that has the merchant's paypal here app installed…
    
    the customer views the amount on the phone's screen, then inserts their card and enter their pin… done.
  - tofuguts on 07/10/2014 - 11:13
    
    Correct. The reader needs to be paired to a bluetooth device that can access the net to allow completion of the transaction.
nickl1986 on 07/10/2014 - 11:25

fyi i applied for mine over 2 weeks ago and i am still waiting for there approval process
- jv on 07/10/2014 - 12:02
  
  waiting for there approval process
  
  are you referring to the approval process to get a merchant account ???
  
  I didn't have to wait to order the reader, I just ordered it and they sent it…
runforthedeals on 07/10/2014 - 12:33

so when they say the transactions are charged at 1.95%, is it charged to the seller or to the buyer?
- OzBragain on 07/10/2014 - 13:12
  
  +2
  
  All charges to the seller
- nutsackjake on 08/10/2014 - 01:10
  
  You can just compensate in the app by adding a 1.95% surcharge. Although, wouldn't make too many people happy
  - Utopian on 08/10/2014 - 12:55
    
    Depends how informed the client is. Tons of stores, in many industries, pass-on/charge fees for use of credit.

Is there any monthly charge to use PayPal Card reader service?
- OzBragain on 07/10/2014 - 14:53

  No, Paypal charges commission per transaction.
  
  1.95% for transactions through card reader
  1.95% for PayPal check-in payments
  2.4% + $0.30 for Invoices sent through the app
  
  2.9% + $0.30 for Key in card payments
  No fee for recording cash payments

What does "Invoices sent through the app" mean?
- Elijha on 07/10/2014 - 19:37

  Input customer email address and they receive invoice/ receipt to their inbox.

I hate paypal.

Yes I'm aware of what this device does, this was just a general comment about paypal.
wfdTamar on 08/10/2014 - 07:51

I presume this works over a wifi connection (I mean from my phone via wifi to a Mobile 4G device which is my internet connection).

Also can it work while offline, and later when there is a signal available do the processing, or does it need a mobile signal (active internet connection) to work at all?

  I am not 100% sure, but I believe it needs an active internet connection.

I sell a lot of things on eBay but would like to sell outside of eBay as well. Would this suit me. Say on the odd occasion I go on Facebook and advertise and people want to come to me to pick up and they can use this service or pay cash. What would be the best thing to do in this case.
- wfdTamar on 08/10/2014 - 09:16
  
  It's not clear what your issue is. You could use this device (or a competitors like PayMate).
- Utopian on 08/10/2014 - 12:59
  
  Cash is king.
  
  That said, some items are more-often bought on credit. Like high value non-essential sales. So having the extra option may avoid "the one thay got away".

I just showed this to Officeworks in Nunawading and they price matched it - got it for $94.05 :-)
anteck on 09/10/2014 - 13:32
Fees are ridiculously high - i have a NAB Merchant account which charges up to a quarter of the cost. (0.7% - 1.8% depending on the card)

Your money goes into paypal account, which they can lock down and restrict as they see fit

Customers have to enter a pin. No phone payments.

Paypal suck.

Seriously, if you want to take mobile payments, check out Paymate, ANZ Fast pay (Same fees), or setup a proper merchant account. This is amateur hour.
- OzBragain on 09/10/2014 - 14:51
  
  What are the monthly charges for your merchant account?
  
  I don't think you really understand the target market for this product.
- SteveM on 10/10/2014 - 16:50
  
  I also have a NAB merchant account accepting between 1k - 4k / month. Checking a random selection of statements shows savings of $3 - $30 / month using Paypal. The smallest savings was on months with much higher than usual EFTPOS transactions which have a fixed fee rather than a percentage fee.
