"If they had your address, they could also send you cash to purchase. PM each other."
"I could send you a Paypal money request. I'm pretty sure you can just pay it with a credit card like you never had a Paypal account. (Just don't log in) Otherwise... Venmo? Facebook Pay? Mail a payment?"
" Five years ago, paypal screwed up my account. I had to call them to fix it. I tried for days to get ahold of a living being. I finally gave up. They still owe me twenty three cents. Dammit. (Grin)"
"PayPal is free?"

- Hello,
I have started a CBN group entitled, "How to Play CBG" It is my hope and intention to encourage the "Wealth of Talent" here on the Nation to share their knowledge and skill to further the CBG movement. Please consider contributing an instructional "video" link to this group. If you are a viewer seeking instruction, please feel free to write. If you have any suggestions or know other players who you think may want to post instructional "video" links, please contact me. Thank you for your interest and support, Keni Lee
