PayPal Alternative? - What's your opinion?


I'm thinking about opening an electronic checking account with ING that would allow me to avoid PayPal fees. Basically the account would allow me to send money to anyone as long as I had their email address. Once I direct the funds to go to that person, ING pulls the money from my account, and sends the recipient an email that money is available. The recipient clicks the link in the email, inputs their own bank routing number and account number, and - zip - the money is theirs.

Does anyone already use this? Or would you be willing to input your bank info to receive money in this way?

If you pay thru PP using an e-check from your bank acct.,neither you or the seller has to pay fees.I have used this method several times with no problems.As far as not wanting to put your acct. info out there,it's too late.If you write checks,use a debit/credit card or paid by any electronic means(auto bill pay,etc.),your info is in cyberspace already.Unscrupulous people will find your info if they want to bad enough.These are just my opinions so if you disagree,that's fine.Good evening to all.
