[EIDXA] 7O6T OQSL

[Joe Hetrick]

Hey Nelson, I CC'd the list in case this is also unhelpful for anyone there :)

Well, in my case I've had a paypal account for years and years and had recently sold some stuff on Ebay, so I had $5 or $10 in it.

My recollection is that you can have it without a bank account; but it's difficult to have it verified, which limits who you can pay (some vendors, and ebay, for example) and it probably also limits who you can receive
money from, but don't quote me.

It's been a very long time for me, but, some searching around, it is possible, but I can't find much new info;  It seems as if the process is to fund it from outside, see the faq here and look at the "MoneyPak" option.

I believe you can also do it by applying for and receiving a PayPal Mastercard, which may or may not be appealing.

As far as OQSL'ing, if you enter your call in the 7O6T online log, there pops up a link to request the QSL, which then punts you to clublog which lets you confirm your QSO's which then lets you request buro (free) or direct cards (punts you to PayPal).
