At that time, I took PayPal payments. I have no credit card and
would need to tie it to my debit card and/or bank account. In case of a
dispute, they are allowed to put a hold on that account until the issue is
resolved. This could mean major disaster for me because of unexpectedly bounced
checks. So I chose not to do it. Now I am wondering if I should give it another
try, and just pray, and pray hard, that no such dispute arises, ever.
Meanwhile, I am continuing my free lance writing efforts.
However, that ship takes a long while to come in. Many things get written, but
not everything gets accepted. Once accepted, payment can take months, or even
up to a year, to arrive. It’s just a fact of that field.
I refuse to stress over it to any worrisome level, but I
must admit it is on my mind. I’ll simply re-assess the facts and make some
decisions.
Along the way, I’m still crafting for the local needy with
the yarn folks have donated to us for that purpose, and I still have my own
yarn for lots of projects. There is never a day I’m not crocheting and it is
still one of the best stress-busters I know, except for a purring cat.
Wishing and hoping and praying that each of you has, or
quickly finds, your own such stress-buster, as well.

Wal-Mart has the Bluebird account. You would get a debit card & when you activate it you will be give an account & routing # to accept direct deposits.
It makes it easier if anything comes up & it is free once you spend the $ 5 to purchase the card at Wal-Mart.
Thanks for that tip, Tammy - I'll look into it - I'm not sure I want to deal with yet another card or account, but this does sound worth checking out. There's no way I'd use it primarily as my SS goes into the bank which is also tied to my PayPall and also has two insurance payments coming out of it. Too many complications there...lol...thanks again.
