Money Orders are always an alternative.

Wire transfers work, but they will charge you a pretty big fee at most banks.

i wouldn't use money order, they are not secure, atleast w/ paypal you can dispute and get your funds back

I've never had a problem either, there's nothing really better out there. You'll find the same BS with everything else.

Paypal is safe and easy. Been usin it forover 4 years now and its solid. There fees imo arent that bad conserding how else would you be able to accept a credit card payment with just verfying your bank account. If you want something different you will have to get a merchant account. Also what in the world would they ask for you to fax things. Id like to here this in detail has Im intrested. Also why are you still part of this site.

Hes not lying about it. When your account becomes limited, which it WILL eventually, they make you go through so much crap to get it reinstated. Once you comply with all their requests, more info is then needed.

You can find alternatives here.

also a great site for info on paypal. www.paypalsucks.com


While I'm here, Chris, your TB was shipped out via priority today. Let me know if there are any problems when you get it
