I do not like paypal either.
I often have troubles and right now--on a nice weekend morning--I do not care to recall all of those. Fact is, it can be, well, what was the word Andy Dufrense used when speaking to the warden in the Shawshank Redemption?
Obtuse.
Anyway I find it's useful ONLY when dealing in cash like from a bank transfer to pay a person a few $$ or when Big Crumbs pays me cash back from buying gift cards online. Otherwise I do not like it when companies or individuals 'force' me to use it.
I have not yet registered for this event and will do so if I can attend and if there's still room, but I will not know that until about a week from now. At that time I would really honestly prefer an alternate method than using paypal. If there is one I will do it. I don't even have to earn miles when paying in to the cause! (GASP!)
