[DeTomaso] Paypal/eBay - was Fikse wheels

[Kirby Schrader]

I agree with Larry. I use PayPal as the 'slush fund'. What I sell on eBay
goes into it; what I buy on eBay comes out of it. Totally independent of my
bank account unless I want to transfer funds to and from the PayPal account
and _I_ do that.

Never had a problem, so far....

FWIW,
Kirby
