Be careful though. About 3 years ago I opted to have a client who lives in the Midwest send me 12 grand on payment of a cabinet job for his island getaway. Super cool guy, a surgeon. All that was great. Then I went to transfer the $ to my business account so I could pay my employees and suppliers etc. Paypal would only allow me to take 1000.00 of it per month out of the account. I tried and tried to reach someone by phone. (Paypal isn't in the yellow pages). I finally got through to somebody online and they gave me 3 options to get my money out of thjeir account. The least invasive one was telling them my online keybank username AND password. WHAT? Now they are ME. I just couldn't believe it. I did that and then changed both. I got my money finally, but think of the interest they stood to make on MY money. I still use it for buying some car parts, but not much.
