For one, your wife is making a profit. I'd have to quit my job and take
up full-time check-endorsing in order to cover the workload that would
result from taking checks. We'll release the actual Labs usage numbers
numbers when we can, but we're not talking about 2-3 transactions per
day, even if only 1/10 of the Labs users deside to use Schedules Direct.
There's a *huge* reason why a large company like TMS didn't even want to
deal with taking payment directly from users. It's a huge headache.
Please remember:
* None of us are getting paid for this (in fact, it's been costing us
money)
* We all have full time "real" jobs, and some of us have even had to
use up vacation time for this endeavor.
* We were given a VERY tight deadline to get things up and running, so
what you see is NOT (note "is" not "might") the final product.
