No shit. Is that something to do with money laundering or something? Rik, I'll just donate a little extra on your behalf. You can buy me a beer in 2037 when teleportation is commonplace and we get together for a night on the town in Rio.

If you send money to another country, you pay a small fee or tax to the bank, which will repass that money to the government. Also, you gotta keep track of the money that comes in or out, and PayPall dosen't offer an official, legal way to do it. One could send money to a foreign country keeping no legal tracks and paying no taxes. For that reason, it is illegal to buy stuff from another country through paypall or such unnofficial method (credit cards are ok). It is illegal also to send money through the mail, I have sent coins before but I was kinda nervous the post office would find out (they didn't).

Also, I don't trust PayPall. I will never transfer funds or give information about my bank account to an organization not fully stablished in my country. I only use credit cards for foreign money transfers.

I'll send you something. Please e-mail me at my username at yahoo dot com (don't PM me I never log in).
