The big problem with Payapl is that it's the only game
in town when in comes to making easy payments by
credit card over the Web for auctions and stuff. You
don't have to go through the hassle of getting a MO or
anything just a few clicks of the mouse and you have
paid the debt. I wish other sites woud come to
challenge Paypal, but until then they can be total
B@$tards and still have people use their site.

Part of being a retro-grumpy person is my liking money orders. When it
comes to sending money to people you don't know, there's a feeling of
safety about it. My understanding is that the USPS takes some involvement
in transactions that go awry involving MO's as possible mail fraud. Plus,
the USPS can use the $$$. Especially after 9/11 and the anthrax
horror. They can use a few positive strokes for giving up the irradiation
scheme too.
I know this doesn't speak to the realities of international sales ...
