They may not be aware of it, or they may have a tiered pricing plan where the transaction costs are essentially hidden by the tier.
If they could make all their transactions qualified or under interchange plus pricing it's possible they might make some money on it. It's not a lot, likely would be a billion people doing it if there were money in it as it's trivial to compete against; priced as a commodity product right from the outset.
Even if they were lazy and using authorize.net's merchant services in addition to their payment gateway, would still be making 0.1%, and could likely do better than that if smart. One dude out of a garage business plan, not hard, could be done.
Try rentpayment.com they are an online payment service for landlords and apartment communities. They take AMEX and the fee should be a flat $19.95. I am a property Manager and we use this service at my community and I get an e-mail and fax as soon as my resident pays through this service. Not sure if you LL needs to be signed up to accept or not but worth a shot.
