The very best way to pay people is by check or wire transfer. If you any other 3rd party service, you are taking a chance. In the event of any kind of disagreement, you might need legal proof that a payment was made. If you pay by check, you get the proof in the form of a canceled check sent to you from your bank along with detailed legal record keeping. Same for wire payments.

Who's to say that a 3rd party payment service such as Epassporte is Legal proof? They aren't a bank, and they might not even in Canada or the US and have no FDIC Insurance like a bank does. Any hopes of getting real answers might be tougher than you think.

Of course there's also this problem: What happens when someone pays a company for a service, but the company never receives the payment because the payment service goes tits-up before the company can withdraw the funds? The customer paid his money after all...

Everyone should learn a lesson from the Epassporte mess. Get paid by Wire instead. More expensive sure, but much safer.
