Great point Tommy!

The initial setup might be a pain in the ass, but once that was done & you had all the affiliates in there in the same order as the spreadsheet of names & amounts, all you have to do is have someone enter the totals & press a button.

Basicly it comes down to this:

Checks are an archaic throw back from last century. I am attempting to make it less appealing to get a check and more appealing to get your money instantly with Epassporte. Hell I am even paying for your new Epassporte account and I will set it up for you. If you don't like getting your money instantly then you may CHOOSE to pay $5 and get a check.

If someone has a real seroius issue with a paying $5 per check, of course I'll work with them. But I prefer to use the method of payment that deliveres the money the most efficiently. I am HAPPY to pay the epass fees to do this because it's more reliable and instant.

While checks may be archaic to some, they are just fine to others.

And it's not like you're doing us a favor - you're basically saying that unless we use ePassporte, we have to pay you a fee so that you pay us, and that's wrong (both the fee & being forced to use a certain payment method)

We are independent contractors of yours. We all get 1099's at the end of the year. I can not think of any other business that charges people/companies a fee to get their money (and a very high fee at that)

Tell me this: will you still send a US based independent contractor a 1099 if they get paid via an offshore ePassport account?

Yes of course, it doesn't matter where I pay you from, I am paying you from an US company and are therefore obligated to send you a 1099 For your information as a US citizen you are required BY LAW to report ALL income even offshore payments.
