It provides secure web payment w/o looking at bank accounts or requiring sign up. It is unlike (at least) Kagi, in that there is no storefront. You request an invoice from the seller, the seller sends it, you pay it. As with Paypal, the seller never sees your CC number. Nothing could be simpler, but the turnaround is longer than with Paypal (a few days as opposed to essentially instantaneous payment). What eBay has done is automate all the invoicing and tied it back to auction item numbers. But the system does not require any eBay tie-in. The seller can manually send an invoice to anyone who requests one. -- Robert Patterson http://RobertGPatterson.com _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
