[Spridgets] Pay pal

[William McLeod]

As one who has been a seller and Paypal user since the days when they  
were still offering a $10 bonus for signing up (9 years ago), I have  
had few complaints until lately.  Now they are trying to force all  
ebay customers to use their services and charging pretty high fees for  
the privilege.  My Visa company doesn't tell me I have to use their  
card and doesn't tell me as a seller that I cannot accept cash or a  
check, but Paypal does.  It is not the cost, it is the enforcement!
