Use PayPal To Pay Return Postage

Hi, everyone!
I just got an idea that receivers can pay their return postage by PayPal (www.paypal.com) instead doing a SASE. We can save a stamp to send the return postage. It costs more to do a SASE, esp. people live in Canada and doing trades with US. So we just send the amount needed for postage by PayPal and wait for our seeds to come. How is this idea?

Give me any opinions or suggestions!

I too live in Canada and have never heard of PayPal. What is it?

Check out the website: www.paypal.com
You should get more info from there.

Please be an informed consumer before signing up for Paypal. I have heard some pretty nasty stories about online billing services such as Paypal, Billpoint, etc. They are not something ~I~ will ever sign up for.

I use both paypal and billpoint at ebay and have never had any trouble with either. Its quick and painless.
You by something(ebay)and pay for it using one of the above methods and presto-your package is there in a few days!!
I really luv them both!

I use paypal all the time and never had any trouble with it either. It has save alot of time and postage for me. It would make things easier for the sase. You can save 34 cents or more each time you do.

Paypal saves a big hassel for our eBay business. It is alot quicker than waiting for someone's check to clear the post office.

Only one problem with Paypal, they do charge whoever is being sent the money a percentage of the amount as their fee. It's not too much, maybe an extra few cents.

I sell my husband's raku pottery on ebay and we were hit with dozens of ads for ways to pay through these services. Pay Pal was by far the best one and the most used. This could work!

I like the idea of using paypal. I'd be more willing to send things out for postage if I could receive it with in a day or two. One of the things that turned me off mailing out plants for postage was waiting for the stamps to arrive. Usually the plants are already dug and ready to go when they're offered. This would definitely make it easier for both the sender & the receiver.

I've had a paypal account for a year or so and have been happy with it. You run into extra fees when you use a credit card to send funds, to transfer money to your account, or except credit card payments more than the allotted amount of times they allow. The basic service to send someone money from your account is free. You can also transfer money to & from your bank account for free. I think it would work out well.
