Who cares, is this communication somewhat secret? I will check out myself, 
what can I loose, I think, nothing.

How so? I think, not at all... Paypal is just another way to do the actual 
money transfer and OWB has nothing to do with the way money gets transfered! 
Is that clear or why not? (I presume, paypal doesn't allow any kind of public 
data of payments, right?)

Maybe my examples, where I wrote "don't need any authorities" made that 
impression? Well, is money an authority is the question, I think. I presumed 
there, that not.

> but how are you going to verify that the payment is done.
For an entry in archive, which is not mine? Why should I?
When I will support some OWB, I will certainly see, that my transfer is done 
or my paper money has been taken. Upon that it's my responsibility to make 
sure, that the OWB owner books payment.

Well, then if you take that million from him and book a record, I guess, 
people will demand from you as an OWB owner a great deal of work for free! 
Would you be interested in that or I misunderstood something?
