i for one, would be interested since i need to pay off paypal but not have 
them eat up all the money  so i cant buy stuff I need to get for future 
customers or whatnot, but until then, i cant use paypal because lets just 
say ebay majorly (to say it niceluy) screwed me over and somehow i had to 
pay for a over 200 dollar cell phone when i got unsuspended again, not 
sure how they did it but i was not happy and not sure how someone can bid 
for you when your account is suspended  but im thinking it must have been 
them or a nice hacker's work
anyway i have been looking for reasonable merchant accounts
