[Phono-L] should I get Pay Pal?

[Peter Fraser]

i've managed to hang on to the original free account all these years.   
there's unceasing pressure to "upgrade" to a fee-based account but if  
you read the fine print and pay attention you can still use it free.

i don't know whether they still even offer the free account, but it's  
worth looking into.  most complaints that you hear are from cheapskate  
sellers who resent the 2.5% (or whatever it is) fee...the service is  
obviously worth it, and is secure and easy to use.
