[MLB-WIRELESS] Full, secure payment handling for TIB?

[evilbunny]

Hello fenn,

Do a search on people that have had nightmares using paypal, they
aren't a bank and don't fall under the same regulations, paypal is
currently being sued by quite a lot of people... also for personal
accounts I believe they removed CC payments as they were suffering too
much fraud, not to mention they charge arm+leg for biz accounts...

fsca>  - Receipted transaction handling - Payments could be automatically

fsca>  - Payment goes directly to offer organiser (no middle man)

fsca> Cons:
fsca>  - Credit/Debit card is required (as far as I can tell)
fsca>  - CC number is stored on Paypals system
fsca>  - Third party point-of-failure introduced

fsca> Have a read of their site and check out the details (I may have missed
