OFF: PayPal

[Mike Habiby]

I've just gone over that paypalwarning site and I have never seen a bigger
load of BS in my life.  See the "nice" thing about the web is that anyone
with an axe to grind can make a site.

I have been using paypal since it's inception.  I have used it over 100
separate transactions and never had a problem. Never.

It is a conduit for you to get monies to or from your buyers or sellers.
Nothing more. Anyone who gets caught up in any other use of paypal such as
their "bank" or "credit card" on the other hand should have their head
examined and frankly get what they deserve.

So Alex USE paypal. It is sweet and easy to use.  But don't store your money
there. As I said it is a conduit not a bank or savings institution.

Mike
