Thanks for the reply.. I have my funds only in my paypal account and i also prefer paypal because it is very secure and safer. If you dont have a paypal account, you can get one opened within 2 minutes at www.paypal.com… Payment made into your paypal accunt can be cashed out through the ATM or at the Bank.
