    paypal charges only 0.50? for a transfer from person to person



    while my bank takes almost 10% of the amount transferred !!!

    Yeah paypal works great, they are definitely safe too. They make money by putting all the money they have in an overnight CD and make money on the huge interest. Thats why it takes >24 hours to transfer.
