Just an obvious point. PayPal is a mute point for those with online banking and since bill-paying is usually a free enticement, there is no service charge or fee deducted. If, in addition, Bob's entity had an A/R account, a physical check mailed locally would not even be involved. Lee C

All well and good Robert (and no disrespect intended) - but to me they seem to be more interested in sending spam than alerting those that do business with them. The warnings I mentioned were heads-up email followed by more detailed snail mail - all in all much more professional and I did

Well, it's not really paypal's fault that they're a target for phishing attacks. Since the majority of the phishing attacks look like warnings of phishing attacks, it's not really useful for them to send real warnings these days. On their site they have plenty of information about fraudul

I think this is an important enough point to post back to the list, and Larry's point is general enough that I'm not violating any personal issue. Good point - I never followed any links to see where they led (which can also be misleading). I follow a policy of initiating a contact and ch

Maybe, for those of us that won't use PayPal, Bob could note a desired payee and address for a check. I made a donation with PayPal sometime last year and when several months ago they sent me something about updating my account, and I ignored it, their emails became more frequent and frantic

Bob, I'd like to make a donation to the pythonmac site--I assume the paypal recipient, [EMAIL PROTECTED], is you, Bob Ippolito? I thought this might be of interest, so thought I'd ask on the forum; is the percentage that PayPal takes large enough that you would prefer donations by check? Thanks,
