But it works with Netherlands now too (your're form Netherlands right),
but drawback are those "excange rates" - which they also appy for Germany,
right?
..I knew something would go wrong - it was just "too cheap to be true" !

Well, it's actually the same excange rate is the same for any amount
so if you excange 10*10 $ you'll loose the same as if you excange 100 $
at once ! ... First payment that we recieved was around 400$ and we
lost around 30 Euros in the excange process !!!
For instance Paypal excange rate is 1.1140 Euro per dollar (today) while
XE says it's 1.18554 - applied to 100 $ - you'll get 118.5 at xe
or 111.4 from Paypal !!!

We subsribed to BidPay recently and now avaiting first payment ...
we'll see how it's going to be !
Still American Express Travellers Cheques are our favourite !
Those are cheap, safe and we can cash any amount without
any problems or extra fees !!!
Enjoy !
P.S. Jan Albert - have you got our email regarding 6350,6375 etc ?
