Paypal is 3.9% of the transaction + 20p.

Its more expensive than getting them to send a cheque, but you can request it from them via e-mail, its more convenient; paying by cheque requires a drive to the bank. So it saves that too.

Like Matt my paypal money is for online spending......

but bear in mind, banking fees including Paypal is tax deductable as a business expense, so don't worry about it...

Have been going 2,5 years (still a newb). All but 6 of my custy's pay via online banking...just give them the bank details and they put the money in...have never been out of my house to collect ...why waste time, effort, diesel...collecting...does not make sense to me.

Cheers
Dave.

I have actually got my bank details on my website. 

I went into the bank to ask if it was safe, and they assured me that is was, as someone would need more than that to withdraw any cash.http://www.rbwindowcleaning.co.uk/21416.html

You could, but if you added up the debt's that are still out standing each month I would say it is worth the expense using paypal.
