Well. For me paypal is the best service for paying for goods.
I'm not using it for any other operations, you right. And i think it simple and stable service :)

Re: Broken N9
 
What really sucks is that I JUST bought an N9 (not migrating from the N900 by any means, just wanted to get one as a lower-level priority for a while now, so that I can maybe get some development done on it as well).

Looking at the screen situation, it looks like I could've probably paid for the BitCoin to cover shipping, and bought a full screen replacement, for cheaper than what I ended up spending on the N9 I got (only would've been about $20-$30 USD cheaper most likely, but any money saved is good).

Oh well. This way it may go to someone for whom it would be more useful, such as a developer that has the skills and time needed to do the kinds of development that make having an extra N9 particularly useful.

I'm glad you've added that clause, considering your signature :)

Off-topic: Here in the UK PayPal pretty much mandates that you link your PayPal account with a bank current account. Does the same happen in other countries?

I had PayPal but heard too many nightmare stories of hijacked accounts used to launder money. I just didn't feel safe with my info and closed them for good.

My many years overdue signature that I just added last night at that (just think of the 1-2 USD in donations I probably missed by not having that signature since I joined).

But yeah, I figured that if I didn't add that clause, some would feel the need to take issue with that, lol.

They don't per-se require it here in the US, but depending on what you mean, they may do exactly the same stuff. I know there's some features that they want you to link a bank account for, so if you need those features then you pretty much have to, but I haven't needed any of those features enough thus far to even remember exactly what they are. :)
