Paypal is dumb.

Looks like I'll probably end up paying more in fees that I'll actually be making if I open an account.

So yeah, Paypal = not an option.

Bugger.


God these radio presenters are dumb - but I guess they ask for it having an "ask us anything" day. A woman rings and asks "What's the difference between Camembert and Brie cheese? They taste the same to me!"

Their answer - "Well, I think is Brie is softer... Are they from different places? I'm not sure..." Pretty much a non-answer.

1. They do taste different. Obviously not a cheese person this woman.
2. Yes, they are from different places. Like Brie comes from Brie and Camembert comes from Camembert - duh.
3. Apparently a really good Brie should "squirt you in the eye" when you stick a knife in it. Mmmm, food microbiology.

Thank you thank you

Classic rock! Without you the other genres
wouldn't exist! You are the raw and original
sound of rock! Other genres may try to imitate
your rawness, but they can never be like you!


What genre of rock are you?

As it should be.

I feel like more of that parmesan/garlic concoction on toast.

Bitch and moan.

I think banks and similar services are just here to make it impossible for small timers to sell overseas. I'm in Australia.

I'd love to sell my jewellery to people everywhere. But there seems to be no method of payment that will charge me less fees than the money I make.

Cash in foreign currency - $7.50 exchange fee (this was free until a few years back).
Money Order - I believe these are something like $20 to exchange - ridiculous.
Paypal - more fees than the money I'd be making.
Don't have and don't want a credit card - although I'm not sure if it would help me anyway.

Is there ANY way to do this and not get charged up the wazoo so much that I'm actually losing money to fees rather than making a profit?
