What you call a checking account, we call a current account, Bob. Sure. I have two current accounts, one business, one private. With my Paypal account, I decided just to lodge a credit card with them, and not lodge my current account info - this means I can accept Paypal payments from registered Paypal members who have a current account lodged. If someone buys from me using Paypal, and they too just have only a credit card lodged, then Paypal won't allow me to accept payment. if someone with a current account lodged pays me, then the credit shows up on my Paypal account, but i cannot transfer it to my credit card (and effectively use it as cash). In this case, I show the credit in the Paypal account, and can use it to buy something else (perhaps from an eBayer) using Paypal. It's effectively money laundering ;-) -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
