Getting back on track and not mentioning the "posting of personal information" thing, some people have real problems using epassporte. Just because you want to work with them doesn't mean everyone else does. Why would you punish these people with a $5/check penalty?

It's not punishment, it's a fee and it's a choice. If someone has real issues with it, they can talk to me. We're working on ACH push as well but that's going to take some time.

Like I said, if would have been ok if you posted ONLY the ratios & not the dollar amounts & total clicks. That information is no one business but yours & his.

I've been meaning to suggest to Wizzo for the last 8 months that you guys might want to pull down the November 2005 stats totals.

I'm not taking the side of a "newb liar". I'm taking the side of a friend & a valued member of this board that's been working in this business since 2000.

Like I said in my 1st post, I was thinking that the $2 fee that most places charge was a little high & I was going to start a thread on the topic sometime this week when I had some free time. But the email about the $5 fee I got this morning made me think that I should start the thread today. It was not meant as a personal attack on your company, just the straw that broke the camel's back.

I do plan to call out some other sponsors on their fees when I get a chance, because I have a really hard time believing that it costs a company $2/check (let alone $5)
