Paying by direct bank transfer is a good idea, that would save any PayPal involvement. However, would you give your bank details to someone you didn't know...? No, me neither.
What passes me by completely is why the banks haven't cottoned on to this market, and have left PayPal a clear run at it. If I were Barclays, HSBC, etc. I'd be getting this sorted PDQ and giving PayPal a hard time on fees, speed and service.
Still, interestingly, running neck-and-neck on the vote. Does that mean we will get a coalition answer - you can use PPG if you like but Col doesn't recommend it and Jimmy doesn't mind!!!
