I have been using Paypal for about 12 years with no problems.
I agree it is safer and faster than using a check. How many people have been scammed using checks - there are so many ways. When you give someone a check they have ALL the info they need to scam you big time. And yet you very rarely hear anyone saying, Well, I am not using checks anymore, I had a problem once.
BTW, that cube quilt by Geta is AWESOME!! I had to show it to DH, he loves 3-D quilts. First one he made was a TUmbling Blocks.
