Hi Steve, I've done Moneris integration a number of times for Canadian customers. And like you said, it's harder to get a Merchant account here for sure, eh. But it's not impossible.
I have found that the Moneris service is very solid and fairly reasonable. I have a complete sample TAF for Moneris (ParaData gateway) around here somewhere, if you want it. Let me know. As for PayPal, I have a PayPal Business account and find the rates not to painful. I recently got the O'Reilly book PAYPAL HACKS which is very good. Might be worth getting. Cheers...
