Agreed. I won't bother with a business that forces me to mail them a check. It doubles the transaction time, at least. There's mailing time, then the time they spend making sure your check clears. I understand why they do that, but I'm not wasting my time that way.

PayPal will allow your to use your credit card, free of charge, without an account, and without sending your info to the vendor.

It sounds like most people think that to use paypal you have to sign up and give them your banking info, when in fact you do not. I've used paypal for two years as my only means of payment, and a great many users who refuse to set up a paypal account have successfully transacted their purchases without an account using credit cards on Paypal.
This is good info. I have used my credit card for dozens of PayPal transactions and have never tied a bank account to PayPal. Never had any problems, either.
