Paypal is handy but I don't like it. It is expensive especially compared to EMT
which are only 1.50$ regardless of amount. They have a bad rep. I think they sell your personal info to those phone solicitors but I don't have proof.
I don't know how EMT (electronic money transfer) works in the US but it is awesome here in Canada. All you need is a bank account with internet service and an Email
and the bank ships the money the way they usually do bank transfers and the Email is only used for notification. It is completely safe and the neither person even has to give their real name. There is a security question you decide between yourselves as well. It is also just like paying cash so some shifty buyer can't rip you off buy claiming the package never arrived which happens so much with paypal most sellers won't ship out of the country any more.
