There's some overhead in both in-person or online, but the overall  
process could be quicker online as there's no physical foo involved.
Costs are not much of an issue, Paypal merchant account takes visa/ 
mastercard with 2.4% which is better than any bank even with manual  
swiper. And yes people could even pay through Paypal then also (but  
for credit card no paypal account is required).

Depending on the purpose of the card, some options might be available  
to make handing them out less painful.
