Keeping this short today as I'm very very tired. Our older dog had a very rough night last night after getting some dental anethesia yesterday so none of us got a lot of sleep. One of the beauties of working for myself though is the luxury I have to basically take today off - for all intensive purposes - and keep an eye on her per the vet's instructions.
If you need or want a credit card swipe machine, PayPal finally has one available:

It sounds like it's used with their PayPal Virtual Terminal which is their online merchant account system. I personally use PayPal for our credit card processing (though don't need a swipe machine). Not sure if it's the cheapest merchant account service out there, but after trying several others for the first year+ of the business, I just couldn't make heads or tails of all the various charges I was getting. At least with the service I used, it seemed like every month there were multiple random charges that made no sense to me. So while PayPal may not ultimately be the cheapest, it is the easiest I've found for helping me also keep my books in order and knowing exactly how much of every single transaction goes towards fees. At the end of the day, I figure that anything that can help me keep my Accounting forward is worth a few extra bucks.
