[Phono-L] should I get Pay Pal?

[Chris Kocsis]

...but if you want to accept someone's credit card payment, you have to 
upgrade to a premier account (at least that's what it was called when I 
signed up).

No problems other than I wish the fee was less.  A friend in Europe sent 
me some money via credit card to buy something for him and the fee took 
a big bite out of what he sent ($17.27 out of $435).
