Luckily for me I've never had to deal with Paypal as a seller. My
knowledge of the horror stories of Paypal comes from talking with people
that make their living selling on eBay. They basically accept they need to
have Paypal/Billpoint/Bidpay accounts just like most business accept credit
cards.
I don't mean to single out Paypal because they all can have problems.
Generally most of the online payment systems work well, but when they don't
it can make you so soured you don't want to ever deal with them again.
My main concern was to make sure Mr. Leonard knew there were some
potential downsides to Paypal et al.. When you are in a situation where
you have serious money problems, which I understand all too well,
potentially having money you counted on suddenly get taken away from you
may not a risk you want to take. Or if you do, don't tie it your normal
checking/savings account.
Oh, also, if you want a good source of information on eBay and a place to
ask questions, check out the Usenet newsgroup alt.marketing.online.ebay.
