You&#39;ve probably heard the term, <strong>offshore merchant reseller</strong> a couple of times, when I say couple, just once or twice, ok, thrice. But don&#39;t have an idea who this person is, right? Simply put, they serve as marketing people for offshore merchant account providers.<br /><br />The <strong>offshore merchant reseller</strong> either sell EXISTING offshore merchant accounts or the services that come with it such as payment gateways or virtual terminals, or even e-books ( if the offshore merchant account provider has one).&nbsp; An offshore merchant reseller may own or need not to own an actual offshore merchant account somewhere in the Bahamas&nbsp; or the European Union.&nbsp; They can apply to be a reseller and just an have an established and wide merchant client&egrave;le. &nbsp;<br /><br /><h2>Good money </h2>An <strong>offshore merchant reseller</strong> is paid on different terms, depending on the conditions by the offshore merchant account provider.&nbsp; They can either get paid on a per lead (merchant account application) basis,&nbsp; per gateway sold, or per terminal sold. Pivotal point, they get paid if they make a sale or more.&nbsp; Average commission falls under the 10 to 20% umbrella of the net revenue.<br /><br /><h3>Resellers versus Affiliates</h3><br />Operative word spelling the difference between an <strong>offshore merchant reseller </strong>and an offshore merchant affiliate is that an offshore merchant resellers markets EXISTING merchant accounts and services, unlike affiliates who can sell upcoming stuff.&nbsp; Plus, an <strong>offshore merchant reseller</strong> gets more empowerment and interaction with the&nbsp; merchant-clients.&nbsp; Offshore merchant resellers can assist their merchants in terms if setting up the payment gateway, merchant account online applications and resolve merchant disputes. &nbsp;<br /><strong><br /></strong>Being an <strong>offshore merchant reseller </strong>can get you that extra income.&nbsp; Plus, you&#39;ll be able to earn a good reputation among your fellow merchants, this depend of course of how you recruit and assist them.&nbsp; The more people you know and have a good merchant relationship with, more profitable possibilities will follow.<br />
