And if/when the BNL/F&E listing goes on-line, the ease and quickness of PayPal will greatly facilitate people offering up one or two pairs of fish when they have just a little excess, which most people do not find feasible using the traditional paper-based format. There are of course folks who resist this for various reasons, but IMO it will be a huge step forward for the hobby .... and more importantly, the FISH. 

In ten years we'll look back and recognize the On-line F&E listing/auction as the single greatest thing ever done to maintain genetic diversity and the number of species/localities "still in the hobby," and the PayPal easy payment mechanism will have been a significant facilitator of that success.
