I have 2 paypal accounts, one that accepts credit card payments so they hit
me for charges on everything I receive not just credit cards.  But I also
have a basic account on another email address and bank account that does not
accept credit card payments, so there are no fees when someone sends me
payments directly out of their bank account.  Don't know if there are
special fees or extra time for overseas payments.
