PayPal option available to publishers

It’s a weird concept, money. Money used to take the form of tokens of stored value, usually made of stuff that people prized: rare shells or stones, or metals like gold, silver, copper and even iron. Later, it became more convenient to carry a kind of value voucher—made of clay, papyrus, paper, what have you—that wasn’t as heavy as gold or shells.

Today’s currency is about as light as you can get. It’s little more than an idea of value represented by some data that can be shunted from one database to another in the blink of an eye.

So it is with PayPal, which, we wanted to remind you, is now a payment option for publishers in our network. There are a number of bennies to using PayPal:

• Payment requires a minimum balance of just $50, as opposed to $100 for checks
• Same-day payment—whereas check payments are made seven to ten days after we receive the request (payments will still be issued on pre-determined days)
• No-fee transfers to your PayPal account, so you don’t pay more for the convenience

To add PayPal to your account, go to the “Payment Options” page under the Account Information tab, check the PayPal radio button, and click “Submit.”
