Paypal is both a blessing and a curse for us who live outside U.S. As Buyers, Paypal offers a very secure and fast, no-hazzle way of paying an item, preferably sold in USA. I just add 4% and worry about nothing.
On the other hand, as an international Seller, I cannot offer Paypal, since I do not have an american Bank Account. That is the only way to collect cash for my sold items. And If I do not offer Paypal as a valid payment method , my chances of ever selling even an old plastic TV remote control to an overseas buyer are slim, if none at all ! It is a real conundrum !
