[Phono-L] Victor I Questions - Assistance Appreciated

Harvey, just curious why you don't trust Paypal. That seems to be the  
one thing that eBay hasn't managed to screw up.  There are very few  
things on the Internet that I trust more than Paypal. I've even used  
Paypal to buy something from a vendor that I wouldn't trust to give  
them my credit card number. A vendor can steal your credit card  
number, and charge more stuff to it or sell it to others. But they  
cannot make a fraudulent charge to Paypal. As a matter of fact, that  
is the entire reason for Paypal's creation.
