I reckon I'm going to quit worrying about it and do the best I can. (I'm good with postal money orders.)

Re: Why not use the bank's payment system?
My experiences with banks has been when something goes south electronically it takes forever to get it fixed. You also go through an amazing amount of people/levels to get it resolved. And repeating the story over and over (even when it has been recorded on the screen in front of them) is frustrating at best.
I agree that PayPal fees seem high and really wonder how much more it can cost them to process a $10 transaction versus a $2500 one. Seems to me that a flat transaction fee would be fairer for the larger purchases. But, as some have previously stated, I use it for the protection and convience/speed. Beats the heck out of mailing a check and then having the seller wait for it to clear etc. and then having no real recourse if something happens.
