[SixClub] pay pal.

[Tom Peters]

I use nothing but PayPal and when I sell stuff, I specify, "Paypal Only". 
My PayPal account is linked only to a biz account with less than $400 in 
it, usually, so even if all of Paypals safeguards fail, my temporary losses 
are limited. But no such failures have occurred.
