Curious, as I did not intend to suggest that all other options be removed in favor of this one, just that it be looked into. In the case of the other organization that I'm part of, we're using PopMoney to collect dues, in which case there is no "merchandise" to be delivered, and the sender and receiver both have proof of the payment. In the case of OUSA, there is an implicit trust that they aren't out to rip off the general consumer, so a lot of your hyperbole doesn't quite apply. In any event, even if OUSA decides to offer it, you would still have the option to use something else. I'm all for having options here... Oh, and thank you also for providing a good explanation for why it is that payment brokers should get a cut of the payment, since they have to deal with (in general) dishonest payers and payees and have expenses to cover to deal with the claims of same... -=D'gou
