Well, I have to disagree a tiny bit here.  Funding via EFT, once you have
the bank account setup (which is required to be verified, right?) is no more
difficult than paying with a credit card.  It does take longer to _process_
but it takes no more effort to send or receive than a credit card payment,
and personal accounts can receive an unlimited amount of eCheck (EFT)
payments versus $500 in Instant eCheck (credit card) payments.

I sure hope Paypal allows ALL accounts to choose which types of payments to
receive soon, as I'm almost at my limit for credit card payments.  If I get
the choice I'll just turn the ability to receive them off.  If I understand
what their policy currently says, if someone pays me with a CC and puts me
over my limit Paypal is going to hold onto that money until I upgrade my
account (which I'm not planning on doing) and I'll have to login and refuse
the payment, bouncing it back to the buyer.

(...) I'm saying it's a pain merely because of the lag. Sometimes (shame on me) I don't plan well and I need parts INSTANTLY that I can't pay for with funds already in the account. Other than that I agree with the snipped part of your post How close (...) (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.market.services)

(...) I've seen this mentioned a couple times that "Instant Echeck" is the same as paying by credit card. From what I read on Paypal, and instant echeck can be done via a bank account withdrawal, with only a temporary hold on my credit card. So to (...)
