Right - but paypal and similar systems introduce extra cost for transaction processing. As I say, I might be prepared to pay pennies... but then the value per transaction is usually too low to be worthwhile. Information wants to be free - now that we have escaped the wood pulper, we should stop paying for it, IMO. But thats very OT.
