Credit Card Association regulations state that only authorized merchant account holders are to directly accept credit card information from customers. Because your 2Checkout.com account is an Authorized Reseller account and not a merchant account, directly accepting a buyer’s credit card information is prohibited. This includes but is not limited to using your 2Checkout.com account as an in-store point of sale, accepting 2Checkout.com orders via phone or placing orders on behalf of your customers.
