  Amex charges up to 14% of every transaction. If a place takes it, they are almost always ripping you off.

    Amex typically charges between 1.7 and 3.3%.

      As someone who does not take amex they want to charge me between 7% and 14%. Maybe if I did more sales they would not charge as much, but the reason amex is not taken in as many places as mastercard or visa is the 7% to 14%.

        Weird. All the info I can fund shows a maximum merchant fee of 3.3% + $0.10 per transaction.

        Even this article about the topic says the reason is because amex charges .5% - 1% more. Not 6-13% more.

        Maybe it varies by country? Are you in NoAm or somewhere else?
