i've managed to hang on to the original free account all these years. there's unceasing pressure to "upgrade" to a fee-based account but if you read the fine print and pay attention you can still use it free.
i don't know whether they still even offer the free account, but it's worth looking into. most complaints that you hear are from cheapskate sellers who resent the 2.5% (or whatever it is) fee...the service is obviously worth it, and is secure and easy to use. -- peter pjfraser at alamedanet.net On Sep 23, 2008, at 8:53 AM, Steven Medved wrote: > PayPal has been great to me I have had no problems.
