<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Andrew McCabe, post: 7508976, member: 90666&quot;]One early internet service I recall that maybe died out before its time was a version of paypal that would send, by post, a physical US dollar cheque to US sellers. Can&#039;t recall now what it was called or how it worked (probably very weak security by today&#039;s standard) but the number of times, as recently as 2020, when Ive been infuriated by US sellers who refused to take credit cards and don&#039;t accept paypal suggests that service died too soon. Especially on NYINC or ANA bourse floors I&#039;ve been appalled by the number of dealers today who will take a paper cheque from strangers but won&#039;t take a card payment by any means, even with say&nbsp; 3% premium. Of course as a European I don&#039;t have a US account and can&#039;t summon up large amounts cash as a visitor no matter how full my £ or € bank accounts are. That old cheque by mail service would have been handy.</p><p><br /></p><p>For many primitive sellers it seems the internet still hasn&#039;t been invented and we are still in the &quot;coin collecting before the internet&quot; era[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
