The answer to your first question is... it depends. The only account that definitely has a cost associated with opening the account is the Business account. Otherwise, you can get a free personal account by going here or there are some sponsors that will provide you with an account if you are a qualifying affiliate.

Personal accounts can be set up within a few minutes. The free zero balance account referenced above is issued instantly. A business account typically takes about a week to set up.

None of the ePassporte accounts require you to have a merchant account. However, you must have a checking account to open a business account.
