Has anyone in Canada tried to use Authorize.net for reseller services?

Specifically, the sales-guy "assured me" that he did this all the time and there would be no problem getting commissions.

Fast forward 6-months, and we have yet to receive a dime, since they do not take $USD credit cards located from Canada, nor $USD bank accounts located from Canada, nor do they send checks.

Anyone have any experience with this and can offer any suggestions?

Or is it just time to flame them? :)

I have no suggestions, except that the sales guy lied to you. Authorize.net does not service Canada, nor has it ever.

Hm.. that's what i thought (or at least i'm thinking).

If that's the case, i will likely refer most of my business elsewhere, anyone have any suggestions?

To one Lawrence from another, there are a number of decent options

InternetSecure
PSIGate
Merchant-Accounts.ca

Those are the main ones that come to mind.

If you are a ScotiaBank customer, ask them for a referral to Chase Paymentech. You may be able to get a good rate with them.
