It saves a significant amount of money if those figures are true. I'm wondering what the average rate for high-risk merchants is and if someone has experienced a processor telling them one rate and then them seeing another on their statement.

Sometimes it's worth it to pay the extra money because no one ever messes with me....but saving 11-12k a month sounds really great as well. Might be worth the hassle.
