Damn! I was all ready to sign up there too.

Not too bad for me though as I'm only dealing with small amounts of cash so not too much to lose if I have to re-send.

Anyone else out there tried it?

David.

I've used it a couple of times.

The only critisism I have is that it takes a little longer to be credited to your credit/debit card than expected, when you withdraw it from your Paypal account. Otherwise, it's been great.

Having said that I have not dealt with any large sums, only £100 - £150.

I am using it too,very fast compared to checks and safer then sending by mail.
I think they charge a fee for converting in USD ,so i think it is cheaper to send or receive money in USD.

Thanks for all your input. I've tried contacting Paypal to ask some questions and they seem to be a bit thick. It's probably great if you live in the US but I don't think it's for me.

I think people would be happier if I had a system of my own to accept credit card payments. I'll talk to the good ole Bank of Scotland. Cheers, have a great Crimbo.

David.
