RE: Paypal (was Address change and or renewal)

[" Anthony Baker" <bakera506@earthlink.net>]

Just a quick note --

I use paypal as a "seller" for all my auctions, and I find that it works quite 
well, and is totally worth the small fee they take because of the convenience 
of the service.  Plus, I think that the 1.5/2% the credit card companies would 
charge for a merchant account, it is definitely worth it for the paypal.  You 
could even up the contest/membership fee a bit to make up the difference, and I 
bet people would still use it more, as it is a lot easier than writing a check 
and finding an envelope!!

Also, from the seller side, the account(s) can be configured to deposit 
directly into any standard bank account -- that is what I do.

I did a bit of research on using paypal a few weeks ago for Erik, as I 
suggested using it as a means to join the AGA and buy things like the CDRoms 
and Videos... I think that people in 38 countries (pretty much the developed 
ones that would likely have people interested in the AGA) can use the Paypal 
service.


Hope this helps!
-Tony
