Not sure if this belongs in here, but it does relate to photography because its probably how a lot of people pay for equipment and receive cash. but stop using paypal. I never trusted it, and after I found this site, I have even more of a reason to not trust it. check it out, and I promise you won't regret it. most importantly, if you DO use paypal (I still do from time to time) NEVER keep money on your account. always transfer it out via bank deposit or have them write you a check as soon as you can.
