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.
