Quoted from Steph

Yes, I got your $2 (thank you) without any fees.

Now try $500...

Hmm... this may need further testing. I suggest that ALL members test that out on the donations link on the top left of any maaca page. I will gladly confirm if the theory is sound.

Quoted from Menace

I avoid paypal at all costs.  If I'm sending ANYONE in Canada $$, EMT FTW!  I've also gone to a branch and deposited $$ directly into their account, it's just that easy...

D

I have a confession to make... Call me old school, but every time I saw someone write FTW, I thought it meant F*ck The World. I was told by my 20-year-old intern that the designation of FTW is really "For The Win", as in depicting exuberance, and that my definition died in the eighties along with mullets.


...


Damn. I miss my mullet.

I read it the same way as you do Sparky  

When sending payments within Canada:

There's only one logical choice: INTERAC EMAIL TRANSFER.

http://www.interac.ca/consumers/productsandservices_ol_emt.php

The sender get's a nomimal fee (a few $$, or depending on your account type, sometimes you get 'X' free transfers per month!)

Money deposited directly in receivers' account.

No % fee
No bad exchange rates
Easy as 1-2-3

I've been sending and receiving MANY of them...from $25.00 to $2000.00 and in Canad, that's the only way I go.

Paypal SUCKS!!!

Agreed, except that some people's banks are not compatible (I'm looking at you PC!)

That's why I have a LOC at CIBC.

That's funny, everyone is entitled to his opinion.

My bank doesn't do online Interac, so it sucks for me ...

For those who are still using Paypal, i was just trying to point how to save on fees... within Canada, of course.

EDIT: il semble que ma banque offre maintenant Interac par courriel... --> Des frais de 4 $ sont prélevés du montant déposé.

I do the same.

For the PayPla thingy.. I had no idea about the no fee. I gotta look into my account to see if there is anything there since I did pay some fees for sending/receiving money ....
