RE: [photo-3d] Paypal and non-USA-creditcard

That's not entirely true. If they run a secure site they must register and
pay for a certificate from a valid authority (typically Verisign). To do
this they must supply lots of information to prove they are legit. You can't
just turn on SSL security, you have to have a valid certificate from a
certificate authority.
If they start ripping people off they can can also get their certificate
revoked.

This actually a very good system that works well.

I don't like paypal and I'll tell you why.  You just never have any idea
who you are dealing with on the internet.  Anybody with basic graphic
skills and a knowledge of the net can produce a webpage worthy of Chase
Manhattan.  I could be sending my bank numbers to a couple of
pizza-smeared geeks in back of a quickie mart.  The buyer and seller
should make up their own minds based on stated terms.  As a seller it is
my right to state my terms.  If they are not acceptable to the buyer then
that's that.  I think clarity is the key.  In my case I try to indicate
that I ship quickly via UPS, but that the USPS is a royal pain and I
rarely get to the post office more than once a week.  I shouldn't be  so
subtle, I should just state that I won't use the post office for domestic
shipments.
