For those who buy from the web
PayPal and why i like it.
- An easy login just a couple of clicks and you're finished with your purchase.
- I keep a couple hundred dollar balance (easy transfer from checking account) and don't have to deal with a credit card, which is usually too much work filling out forms and I'm still not completely trusting with who I give my credit card number to.
- I also like that they provide good consumer education about shopping on the web.
What I often use
PayPal for is to support some of the fine reference resources I use such as Tara Calashain's
ResearchBuzz Extra, Marylaine Block's
Ex Libris (actually I use her Amazon Honor System link -- another efficient source if you trust Amazon.com with your credit card, which I do), Rory Litwin's
Library Juice, Walt Crawford's
Cites & Insights, a PDF version of
The Google Guide,
Urban Legends Reference Pages,
Scott's Newsletter,
Neat Net Tricks, etc. If
lii.org had a Paypal option I'd give to support it, too.
