Why not just send them out to anyone who's got the cash?
probably because if they get scammed by some scumbag using someone else's credit card, they wear the expense of the CC chargeback. credit card companies and paypal etc screw the merchants. for a small company, it's safer and easier to do some vetting of customers than to risk bankruptcy from being ripped off. craig -- craig sanders <cas@taz.net.au>
