Buying Durians with credit card??

I was reading the blog My E-Commerce and this immediately caught my attention, Buying durians with credit card - new e-commerce business model!!!!!

wow, am i so outdated or what, buying durians with credit cards????

Imagine you go ss2 and eat durians, then the guy say we do accept credit card if you eat more than 5 durians, wuahahahahaha i think i will *faint* right away...

I think next time we can go pasar malam by just having a credit card in our hand, buy chili 50 cents? swipe.. buy vegetable Rm2, swipe... nice also hor..noneed to carry cash, no need to worry that ppl give you the koyak cash, no need to worry ppl calculate wrongly and give you back the wrong change..

woohoo, so excited, so when are we going to implement this in pasar malam??

cool man~~ buy durian with credit card.. Last Sunday, i went to a car wash shop, the board also write: "We accept MASTER / VISA" wow.. nowadays.. seem a lot of business implement it by using credit card.. But sometime credit card might has risk also, others people can use your details to make duplicate it and use.. so.. must be double careful :p

hmm, car wash one still ok lar, cos if they polish cars, charges are like RM100++ and above mar so receive credit cards is ok..

now service car also got received credit cards lar..

seems like cc is a must now!!

Thanks for readign that post.

To provide credit card facilities, merchants normally will put a cap or limit of the minimum charges as they need to absorb the transaction fees charged by the services providers.

So to purchase chili n vege of RM2.00, sometimes the transaction may cost more than that. So in that situation, TouchnGo may be viable rather than the credit card.

ya, this is the situation for now mar, maybe in the future they will lower down the charges for every transaction being swiped?

Hopefully....but seems like a bit difficult lor....like last time, the petrol kiosks operators want to boycott credit cards transaction when the petrol prices goes up, transaction fees still the same until today.
