It's not often you find someone who prefers to wait in line at the post office, pay a dollar for a money order, fill it out and an envelope, attach a 44 cent stamp, and wait an additional 2-3 days for the payment to get there. I like the 20-second transaction time with no fees by using Paypal.

From a seller's POV, different matter.

You are correct- it is not as easy as a 20 second paypal payment, but I actually enjoy the whole process. There is hardly ever more than a 3-4 minute wait in line.

And some sellers prefer a postal money order payment also. Buying the money order is no problem, neither is postage(usually even send it Priority Mail), and don't mind the wait (makes it even more exciting to get the card(s)). Plus it gets me out of the house and away from this damn computer

I agree about your reference to the computer. It has enveloped so much of my time(even at work).

Preferred it as a kid in the 70's, no computer. 4 channels on TV. No video. Had to wait a long time for movie in theatre to get to TV. Looking back at it, wasn't bad at all.
