PayPal is very easy to set up, just go to the web site and follow directions. Anyone can do it, not just vendors, so it's great for ebay, college students, etc. Cash can go back and forth between folks without much lag time. You can keep money in it, like a checking account, and even earn interest on the amount, it's currently 1.86%, Money Market. If you have a business acount, you can accept credit card donations, but there are fees involved (like a bank). I'm sure they figure out the rate of exchange (for foreign currency) and just do it for you. A new feature on the international exchanges is that you're not charged a fee for it anymore.Wendy
