1. Certapay/Interac
http://www.certapay.com
Is a great option for occasional payments. Using the well known Interac brand and a built in option for Canadian online banking subscribers it doesn't take much convincing and zero charges for the seller.eBay approved

2. MoneyBookers
https://www.moneybookers.com/app/?rid=715212
,Moneybookers is by far the best system but less popular then Paypal. It would be of most use to a Canadian that deals with European buyers. Yet its an excellent system and one of the best , with over 2 million subscribers and eBay approved.

3. Paypal

Paypal for Business[/url] Only because its so popular would I rank it so high ,otherwise Paypal is not ideal for Canadians but you may find it difficult not to have it as an option. Be advised its best when dealing and invoicing in Canadian funds since many of the fee's and exchange rates are very unfair.eBay approved

4.Interac Online For the more serious Canadian Merchant it also works through Canadian banking and thus should be no chargebacks.

5. Beanstream
http://www.beanstream.com/website/index.asp
Is a merchant account provider , third party provider for Interac Online ,and is generally the all around best provider for payment services.eBay approved since its a Merchant account.

6. Hyperwallet
http://www.hyperwallet.com
Once the payment of choice on eBay.ca , hyperwallet is well established with Canadian banking system. Not a ton of users that I have encountered it is a secure payment service with a long track record in Canada. More popular in Ontario/Quebec and on sites like "MightyBids". eBay approved.

7. E-Gold
http://www.e-gold.com/e-gold.asp?cid=2670116
E-Gold is the only gold currency program to use. Why? Its the oldest and most reputable ,it has the larger subscriber base and has exchangers in Canada.

Googlecheckout will be ideal when its released to Canadians
