1) If there is an option for "plastic" (Visa/Mastercard) it wasn't
offered to me. Check/Money Order or PayPal were the the only choices
for payment method. (I chose PayPal). Too bad, since the dollar
continues to creep upwards and, by the time the Visa bill came, it
might have been a bit more favourable vis rate of exchange. As it is,
PayPal calculated it at almost a dollar more than the Currency
Converter did. Small potatoes, but cents add up to dollars, and
dollars help the retirement fund :)
2) I used English for the account sign-up, but the PayPal invoice came
in German. Disconcerting to say the least, given that my German had
never been all that good, and has rusted through since...
3) The PayPal confirmation came at $25.01 for the 20Euro purchase...
The fee for the currency exchange was not included, so I'm not sure
how much the transaction will _actually_ come to. Somewhat important,
since I have a totally separate bank account to serve PayPal, and keep
only enough money in it to pay for the current purchases
And all those problems are with *paying* by Paypal. People keep asking
so I've looked several times at the possibilities of accepting payment
(for threads books) by Paypal and I've always rejected it because their
fees are so high. With just the one product I'm certainly not a big
enough business to accept Visa/Mastercard. That's why I remain firm
that I can only accept GBP cheques/money order, electronic transfer, or
CASH in any major currency with the sender taking the risk of mailing
cash.
