[Qgis-psc] PayPal is insane

[Tim Sutton]

Hi

Wow! Thank you for looking around for an alternative! I wonder if we can't
just get a straight merchant banking facility (I don't know what you call
it in Europe) that lets us accept credit card payment straight to our
account. Perhaps it is worth asking the bank if they offer such a facility?

BTW is this only affecting us now that we have our own PayPal account or
did we take a similar hit when operating through Horst's PayPal account too?

Regards

Tim
