Re: Paypal

To me, more interesting questions than what payment system to use are: 
What entity will receive the money?

Well I know there is a non-profit in motion (or done?) for advocacy???

What will they do with it?

I would personally like to see it for things like professional documentation editing, shows/events,
anything that has to do with advocating PostgreSQL

 What 
sort of public accounting will they have?

Well, I think (I would have to double check) that as a non profit you have to make your books
public.

 How will cross-border money 
transfer work and how expensive will it be? Will the U.S. customs need 
my fingerprints? 

Only if you plan on flying in.

Personally, if I need to send money somewhere, I have my bank wire it.  
I don't see a need to introduce another middleman, but maybe someone 
can explain why they think they need to. 

Well there are problems with bank wire.

One: it is typically more expensive than using a credit card or paypal account.
Two: it is ridiculous to wire 5.00, where it is useful to paypal or credit card 5.00.
Three: with a wire, once the money is gone, it is gone. Zero recourse.
