Post by: Payment21 on February 15, 2017, 06:35:50 PM In an article on ComputerWorld, contributing columnist Evan Schuman has wondered ‘Why merchants let their payment processors get away with so much.’ He points out a case where Mercury Payment Systems was sued for inflating fees it charged shoppers on behalf of merchants.

Post by: splitups on February 15, 2017, 07:00:43 PM I don't think so, The merchants accepting bitcoins directly do determine the price and the fees are also included, ones accepting bitpay/Coinbase though are different. Since everything depends on Bitpay and how they value bitcoin/price.

eg if they signed to say 1cent a tx .. then mercury should only charge 1cent a tx if however they signed to say 1cent introduction, but variable with 1month notice.. then mercury need to inform the merchant a month before going up to 4cent a tx and allow an exit of the agreement usually penalty free, unless stipulated. it appears the merchants were not signed up to a variable fee agreement, but mercury went ahead and changed fee's without notice |
