I think PayPal is a great idea. The only problem I have with them is that
they require you to give up all the rights you have when using a credit
card. You must promise to never dispute a charge from PayPal. Of course,
they can't make you keep this promise but they will disable your PayPal
account if you dispute a charge.

For this reason I won't use them. Your mileage may vary.

Regards,
Bob
