Mouser is now taking paypal
I just noticed this today on a mouser order. When did they start doing this? About time, I hate transferring money out of paypal, waiting three days just to use it for repairs!

I didn't realize that it was a new thing for them when I placed an order a few days ago. I guess prior to then I never used PP. Definitely more convenient. 
Re: Mouser is now taking paypal
This strikes me as a bow to consumers. It is a blow to the business, though, because PP merchant fees are typically higher than credit cards like Visa and MC. If there is a lot of volume, basic economics suggests they will pass it alone in their pricing. I don't actually see PP as a good thing in the commercial environment. OTOH, PP is really great for eBay because it equalizes the playing field for people who don't want or need a merchant account, but need an easy way to take or make payment.

Oh I hope not....I was reading an article about it the other day, apparently it is really useful for money laundering by drug cartels.Leo_Gnardo wrote:Next . . . BitCoin.

Hell, around here HSBC (stands for Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation) got nicked for allowing the cartels to money-launder. So what did they do? Shut down all the HSBC branches, go dark for about a year, then reopen as Niagara, sounds all New York but it's HSBC under a different name. Oh, plus pay a fine of about $ 1 billion but that's chump change for banksters.beasleybodyshop wrote:Oh I hope not....I was reading an article about it the other day, apparently it is really useful for money laundering by drug cartels.Leo_Gnardo wrote:Next . . .

With what the banksters & Ollie North type shady deals being the order of the day, I say BitCoin, BigDeal.
