[DeTomaso] Paypal/eBay - was Fikse wheels

[Bill Lewis]

Thanks to Larry, Larry & Will - I'm gonna open up a new bank acct and a new email address.  I mean, it's not like I spend a lot on eBay.  Yeah, one of our credit cards was "hacked" last year - same thing as yours.  Visa took care of it.   ---Bill
