It's funny. I have the opposite problem. I wanted to buy from 2 places 
locally that only accepted cash. One was an actual store which I thought was 
way weird and I told her it would cost her a lot of business. She finally 
saw that I was right and got her stuff together to accept cards. The other 
was a guy at a festival here. It was very surprising as he was selling 
gemstones and gemstone jewelry, some lesser cost but some very pricy in the 
hundred and over range. And he expects people to have cash to give him or to 
go to the ATM to get it. Dude making it hard for people to buy from you is 
stupid. LOL. And if someone's gonna do an impulse buy giving them time to 
walk to an ATM across the park allows them to think about do they really 
need the over priced 125 dollar crystal pendant. LOL. So yeah.
On the other hand I sell my hand crafted wholesale jewelry and oddly enough 
though most people like to pay me online with pay pal I've got 3 people this 
week sending me checks. This is okay with me as I can alk to my bank easily 
and use B of A which is pretty much everywhere, which is why we use it. LOL. 
But I actually got pay pal for myself 11 years ago, and though I'm young 
enough, in my 30's, I am not overly techno savvy, it just not being my main 
interest. So my friends thought I was pretty late finally jumping on board. 
LOL. So if I have it, it's' weird for me when someone doesn't as I tried to 
resist all the way and it just got to where there were too many cool things 
online I could buy way cheaper that way. You can hook pay pal up to your 
bank account so you don't ahe to have any money in the pay pal account 
itself but you still pay with it an d it withdraws it from your bank no 
problem. Like you're using your  debit card and it doesn't charge any extra 
fees. So really there's no reason not to have it if you have a  bank account 
to write a check. If you do it means you can also have pay pal, no card 
necessary. Some businesses accept checks especially local ones, but online 
it's not as common these days. The site we  get really cheap books from, 
abebooks does I think, but most others we  frequent do not. So like at best 
3 out of 4 won't, and maybe less than that. So in essence it's just gotten 
to be easier, faster, and preferred so sadly sometimes the times be a 
changin' and you gotta change with them or get left behind. It's progress.

I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed.
I get along with the voices inside of my head.
