Louis-Alain,

Some of us dwellers in the hinterlands of the US have difficulty with 
Canadian PMOs.  My local banks seem not to be able to recognize a Canadian 
PMO as valid even when clearly printed with "Pay in US Funds".  :-(  I had 
to stop accepting payment in this manner for this one simple reason - I was 
unable to cash them.  PayPal avoids that problem.
