I know that, but basically I would just take checks unless I had megabucks
in the bank, which I don't. It's okay for just a few times, but it's quite
a little tidy sum that PayPal charges. Of course, if a check bounces, then
the bank fee would also be a tidy sum too, but then you know not to see the
client again.

It is easier online, but you just have to weigh that charge in. It is not
all that small IMHO.
