But, as any mail to info@fv.com will show you in the faq it fetches: (1) any momma-poppa company with a credit card of their own can set up to do business internationally and USA-ly for a setup fee of $10.00 plus $2.00; the entity setting one up is First Virtual, they do the complete job of collecting charge monies for you. (2) anyone who can set up a credit card account (charge or debit, here and in (1) ) can buy from any outfit set up as a vendor with First Virtual. (3) FV does not take credit card numbers on the 'net, and buyers do not have to expose their charge numbers on the net. (4) the hassle for businesses is that FV doesn't pay till they actually get the receipts from the credit card com- panies. (5) it is very cheap for a business, and costs only the one-time $2.00 fee for buyers over and beyond the usual credit card charges. I have two tiny (less than momma-poppa) vendor presences on FV's InfoHaus where my products are available on ftp/WWW pages, and they (IH and FV) do all the selling, collecting of monies, and delivery of the product. I began reading this group today in the mistaken belief it might be the place to get test players - and ladder/rating initialization players - for board chase games and chess variants.
