I vote for Paypal. Not many banks will allow Internet users (such as MLU) to accept credit card payments while Paypal covers all of the major cards. Yes, they pay a fee but this is taken from every transaction so instead of $50. they receive $47.50 - still easy for them. And cash is problematic for many of our international users. Do they try to find Cdn dollars and pay high exchange rates (there are fees involved), do they send US dollars and MLU has to get the cash converted or do they send local currency and, again, MLU has to get the money changed to Canadian - all of which requires someone to go to the bank during work hours. Paypal is all on-line and the funds are deposited to the appropriate account. I believe there is even a method of making 'donation' payments which do not incur fees.
Rather than an annual subscription I believe that you can set up Paypal for monthly, bi-monthly, etc.. payments. I would gladly pay $20/month than $200/year
