Why PayPal.

When a few friends asked me if I could send something that they saw on this blog or perhaps had contemplated buying on a previous trip and passed it up, I was glad to do it, but I had to find an easy way to get the payment to me. Then I happened on PayPal, a company owned by Ebay, and that was the answer to my dilemma They really make it easy to transfer money. It is secure, fast and affordable.

That is why I am now doing a little e-commerce. And yes, I am making a couple dollars myself. Not much but at least enough to pay for my trouble. I am finding that I am doing things here in Baños, that in other countries, I could not be bothered with. Here, if I make two dollars, that will buy groceries for two days. It is wonderful to live in an area where greed in business is almost non-existent. Maybe as I learn more I will change my mind...we’ll have to see.

So that is the reason for the “Buy Now” buttons that you will see if I find something of good value that can be mailed easily.
