most transactions dont come with a 2-5% surcharge with use?

Comes with a visa and amex so if there's surcharge just pay with visa, and if even that is surcharged pay with savings account lol

filling up at BP is awesome because I get velocity points swiping that card, then they accept amex for even more FF points

I blame Asians. If they didn't pay with cash so often the fees would be taken into account of the item price.

The card companies charge fees for the right to accept their card? What a strange world we live in. I'm sure visa, MasterCard etc make plenty of money with that trapezoid scheme

Total tools do. Scorptec has a surcharge for anything except cash and eftpos. Not sure how they can justify that. I think a lot of fast food and restaurants do too?

yeah all the computer shops do that, if i buy for business I pay on CC and push that through to the customer if for myself use cash or eftpos :P

They provide a service (the ability for a retailer to accept payment) and charge a fee in return.

Why is difficult for you?

because card companies/banks make a lot of money on interest and card/account fees. then Visa/mastercard market how amazing they are because theyre available in 700billion locations across the world.

and yet 75% of bakeries and local fast food places I walk into only take kesh. not to mention the hundreds of dodgy bars. i very rarely carry cash.

i dont know how the system works, but wouldnt a one-off payment on setup of the machine and service (+ regular phone/internet charges) make it more attractive for shops to accept the cards that the banks want you to use? but then they dont get regular income from business and most of the time the cost is made-up for by the consumer.

I can see why PayPal is going to become a force to reckon with outside of online transactions.

The PayPal that takes a percentage of the transaction from the seller for allowing a customer to pay that way?

Leroy pls

How is it any different from American express? (Other than not being a gentleman's club for elite beings)

American Express merchant fees are higher for the seller than most credit cards, to cover their rewards programs, hence a lot of merchants will have a surcharge for the use of such cards or flat out say they don't accept Amex/Diners.

Used to piss off a few customers when they'd whinge why I didn't accept Amex, or would offer to charge them more and tell them that they're welcome to pay the 4-5% transaction fee or whatever it was.

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
