Why bother going thru the hassle when Paypal makes it a secure
wire transaction where only they can access the account thru previous
arrangement?

For what?

I called them just last week. No hassle in finding their phone number on
their website. Here ya go: 866-643-2959

https:// websites are easy for hackers to read with the right software.
You go ahead and enter your Visa or Mastercard accounts all you want. I'll
stay safely with Paypal.

You were lucky. My friend Andrew thought his account was safe from hackers
and they suprised him when he used it online. He now has a Paypal account.

 RB> On the other hand, I generally stick to known reputable sellers such

Unless they already have your Visa/Master information on file, you're
still not safe.
