[QUOTE=aquila;2821290]I haven't got a credit card personally because I am bad with them. I admit a lack of smarts when it comes to credit cards. I ran one way up a few years back and it took forever to pay it out. 
I don't accept them because I did accept a credit card payment via PayPal years ago on a guitar I refinished. Payment was made. Guitar shipped, ten days later payment was reversed for being a stolen card. I was out the money. When I started painting bikes ten years ago I accepted credit cards. I did a very expensive paint job on a bike. Two weeks later the owner came back with scratches all over his bike from wiping it at a gas station with a paper towel. I told him I wouldn't warranty that and he lost it on me. I ended up polishing the bike at no charge to shut him up but he decided that wasn't good enough. He called his credit card company. Said I didn't do what he wanted and they sided with him despite all the records I had. At that point I refused to take payment via credit cards anymore.  Not worth the risk in my eyes.[/QUOTE]

May not be worth the $600 a year in additional bank fees to MAAC to collect a few EMT's.

Not sure about this info in upgrading to a business account come from.... maybe if you did hundreds ot thousands of EMT transactions per month. I don't pay anything on my account and no cost to receiving EMT thru RBC for me . Only cost is $1 for each sending money transaction. I have a bare bones checking account also so you would think they would target me first before someone with a high usage account that has all the bells and whistles.

Maybe time to change banks.

If all goes well, PayPal will be online tomorrow.

EMT: not supported due to the hours it could potentially take the MAAC employees. Each EMT has to be collected then the database updated etc etc.

Re: Still no PayPal :(

Have had to cancel my CC several times over the last several years and had no issues with the Bank cancelling the card , reversing the fraud and about a week or so to get another CC. They have been first class. As for EMT my bank charges me $1 for each EMT transfer sent.one heck of a lot cheaper than PP. don't pay any extra bank charges. Quit using PP last year when someone got me onto EMT.

Re: Still no PayPal :(

so going back to the main question; is MAAC ever thought of using EMT/paypal to accept payments?

Odd.
I can accept EMTs into my TD business account for no extra fees, and my monthly cost is well under $50 total. You might want to review your plan.

I'm not so sure about that, I only have personal accounts at this stage, (RBC and a local credit union) and I receive EMT's to both of those accounts with no extra charges incurred in any way. I would think MAAC has a business account at this stage anyway.

That said, on second thought, I have to agree with Steve, it would be cumbersome and time consuming to accept a large number of EMT's. I'm sure that MAAC pays thousands in merchant c/c fees (and Paypal when the start using it) every year but that can't be avoided I guess.
