[Milsurplus] ONLY PayPal to be allowed in Australia.. MORE

[wf2u at ws19ops.com]

In fact, I wish most German eBay sellers accepted PayPal.
I buy stuff periodically on the German eBay and it's PITA to pay them.  
They want direct electronic transfer to their bank account.
The problem is that my bank is not a commercial bank, but a credit  
union type bank and they can't transfer money outside the US unless  
the payee's bank has a "partner" bank in the US.
I have to PayPal money to a friend in Germany, and he transfers the  
money from his bank.
I hate to continue imposing on that person, and I wish payPal was more  
widely accepted in Germany.
There is a transaction fee to the bank anyway when transferring money,  
so it makes no difference to me.

My opinion, YMMV...
