Cash? What's cash? Oh, I remember, it's those little metal tablets and cute pieces of paper I stick in the vending machine once or twice a month. I sure don't want easy access to cash, else my waistline would bulge from too many vending machine visits. PayPal, at least for me in the US, makes it easy to deposit funds into my bank account of choice. Once in my bank account, it goes wherever I wish, but the cash option is one I seldom use, even though I live a couple of blocks from a "free" ATM, and work for the world's number one manufacturer of automated teller machines. My big complaint about PayPal is the fees they charge sellers to receive money. PayPal's cut is almost three percent. Add Ebay fees, and the seller receives quite a bit less than the actual sale price. I'll probably quit accepting PayPal for any expensive items, or adopt my own "seller PayPal fee" of three percent. -- John Mustarde www.photolin.com - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
