[TowerTalk] OUR Answer to PAYPAL

[NE6V]

Hello everyone,

I have received a bunch of replies to this posting. I want to answer one 
fellow w6's reply about what does this have to do with "towertalk". If we 
can not pay for items then what do we do. The ability to pay a seller 
rapidly and WITHOUT hassle is as important to the condition and type, make 
of the equipment that is being sold. I for one hate selling something, then 
having my funds on hold(PAYPAL) have to pay for shipping fees myself, even 
though the buyer paid for shipping, and then to add insult to injury, still 
have to wait for the buyer to leave positive  feedback and supply delivery 
confirmation.

This Alertpay may not be for everyone or even anyone, but I felt I should at 
least put it out there that there is a alternative to PAYPAL.

Also this is my way of sticking it to PAYPAL, if I can get 1 paypal user to 
switch... then I'm happy!!
