I NEED a merchant account but can't get one...

RIght now my business takes paypal, checks, and money orders....

and I realize that being able to accept CC's would help my business sooooo much...

The only problem is I am 17 and thus don't have any credit :(

Ask your parents to get one for you.

The problem with that is I am a sole-prop. and they are not part of the company...

I really don't know what to do but I guess I am going to keep looking for a company that will accept me at my age.

You can get one through iBill, though they charge a steep premium since most of the p*rn sites use that for CC processing. But, if you need it, they will give you one.

If you have a business checking account you should be able to get one through your own bank.

If you don't have a business checking account you might try Bank One.

Nice... Thanks for the replys... I am pretty sure I have found one that I can sign up with my fathers name.
