I was trying to think of which one it was. It was a good idea. I haven't 
had a problem with PayPal and use it on sites I'm not familiar with. My 
Usenet provider is in Berlin and for a while they were using a European 
PayPal analog called Click'N'Buy. That would invariably get flagged by 
MasterCard even though it's only 10 Euros a year. They do PayPal now.
