Payko.com has been developed to fill the missing link in paypal's services. Payko.com exclusively accepts paypal payments and issues international money orders to the seller while still allowing your buyers to use their paypal account. Payko.com has worked very hard with paypal to bring this service to everyone. For those of you who prefer to receive money order payments or just dont have time to manage your account, we have the ultimate service for you.
Our development team is in the process of putting together our entire auction sellers platform to enable fast and full online management of all your end of auction payment needs. Currently we offer full money order payments up to $200 from paypal accounts. In the near future this limit will be raised as well.
So if you are a power seller or just sell 1 item on ebay, we have the payment solution for you. Why worry with paypal when we manage all that for you. You will receive your international Travelers Express money order with your daily mail. Give payko.com a try, and if there is something that we can do to better our services, send an email to [email protected] with your ideas.

Send money orders from your Paypal account!!

Payko.com is based out of NYC, New York. We have worked closely with our account manager and compliance department at paypal to ensure that they understand our business model and that we understand how they will handle our account. We have also provided them with all our compliance information prior to accepting paypal payments.

THAT'S GREAT...
HOWEVER, with knowledge of PayPal's reaction to "AuxPal" (remember??) and feeBay's reaction to just about every company on the face of the earth, I'm gonna adopt a "wait-&-see" attitude!

Just what the Internet needs, a middleman acting as a go-between with another middleman. So now if the buyer or seller are scammers, there is yet another party in middle to confuse the issue. Remember that Paypal's business model is if A pays B with a stolen credit card or A buys something from B and claims it didn't arrive, and B pays C, Paypal will go after C, even if C is blameless. Where does that leave Payko?
I've got a great idea for a payment service based on 6 degrees of separation. If you want to send a payment to someone, I'll ask around and find a friend who knows a friend who knows someone near the seller and we'll pass the payment along. It really works. Here's one example: someone from Brooklyn left an umbrella in a hotel upstate NY. Someone at the hotel was going to Israel where he would be meeting a neighbor of the guy who owned the umbrella, who was returning to NY. So he took the umbrella to Israel and gave it to the neighbor. The umbrella made a 12,000 mile trip to get from upstate NY to Brooklyn. Who needs paypal, the post office or UPS?

There is a campus game: "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" in which players get 6 chances to tie everything in the hx of the world (somehow) to Kevin Bacon!
Eg: say WWII...you then say Atomic Bomb...you then say End of the World...then say "tremors"
Theoretically, everything that has ever happened in the entire history of the universe can be tied to Kevin Bacon within 6 turns...
OTOH: Ralphie say it's a load of dog.....

Tom - I had never heard of tying world events. I guess everyone got tired of just sticking to actors ( I know we never succeeding in finding one we could not link, including Lassie, King Kong and Godzilla. I know there used to be aol boards deicated to the game - I guess it was just a natural turn to include world events.
