An over-the-counter transaction should not cost the retailer more than 1.9%. Many times it's lower. This is because it's being swiped at the point of sale where the retailer is able to verify the identity of the purchaser. Less chance of fraud.
Mail Order / Phone Orders are higher charges, in the 2's to 3's. These are higher risk charges, even with retailers requesting the 3-digit number on the back of the cards.
American Express is 3% or higher. Between the exorbitant rate charged to the retailer and the annual fees charged to the card-holder, it's a wonder they're even in business.
