Bank account information are often extremely critical, hence why using only secured websites and/or paypal help a lot for this.
Paypal do not charge you directly, since it actually take a % from what the seller receives. However, you will have to pay a fee should you send a payment on the "personal" category (gift etc), otherwise, the person you are sending the money to will receive slightly less (they will warn you anyway). An example that I recently had to go through: Suppose you want to send 700 yens to a friend's paypal account, you will have to pay 763 so they will receive the full amount. Otherwise they will receive 637.

As Klashikari mentioned, the service fee only comes into play when you're trying to use PayPal to send money to someone. Suppose you want to send money to a family member, or suppose you're selling something locally and your buyer wants to send money through PayPal. In those cases where no "checkout process" is involved, PayPal does have a processing fee. If you are sending money between countries, I believe PayPal also charges a currency conversion fee. Even though PayPal sort of operates like a bank, they do not have any requirements about money in your account. Most people just use PayPal to make payments, and you do not need to transfer money into PayPal to do that. You give PayPal access to a funding source (a credit card, a bank account, or both) and when you make a payment, PayPal deducts the amount to be paid from the account. If you use PayPal that way, your PayPal account will never have any money sitting in it. I don't think that anyone has ever had a problem using PayPal as a payment service. The complaints about the service come from people who sell things and accumulate money in their accounts. From what I hear, occasionally PayPal makes it difficult to transfer the money out of your PayPal account and into your bank account.

I've got a question regarding numbers in Japanese with military units after playing Muv-Luv.
In the game the player's unit initially is the A207 with units from 01 to 06. I'll use the protag's designation, A20706. So he would say, A-Ni-Rei-Nana-Rei-Roku when referring to himself, correct? It just sounds like they say something other than Rei. Like it really rolls off their tongue easily. Is there another term for 0 in certain instances that I've missed or is my hearing really that bad?

Maru literally means a circle.
A zero is kinda like a circle, and the Japanese way of writing it tend to be more circle-like too, so... Think of it as saying "1005" in English as "one-o-o-five," except more commonly used. |

There is but you will be penalized in score and your speeds will slowly grind to a crawl. BitTorrent clients give points to other clients that upload, that's how the system works. If everyone would stop uploading then the system wouldn't be able to function since there aren't any servers involved.

Though as you said it does mess with the system some, so I personally upload back generally anyways, though general files are seeded to certain level by person releasing the file, which means some gets sent out regardless of new users uploading, otherwise the file wouldn't be able to seed in the first place . There are ways to do so(or at least minimize the amount uploaded), if you want to for some reason. 1. Set upload limit to lowest speed possible (should be around 1kb/s) 2. Remove torrents and .torrent files from the client when it finishes downloading. Edit: No once the .torrent is gone and removed the file from the client it can't download or upload it anymore.

Also in more popular torrents there's so many people downloading (and uploading) that it's only natural that everyone gets good download speeds since there aren't enough highly rated clients to take up all the download slots.
