That was actually the original reason for me to ask whether
alternatives had been checked, because I'd really like to avoid
paypal. In the past I used paypal because a bank transfer seemed even
less senseful (as I suspected costs for the foundations to excel those
of paypal).

Reading the postings here on British bank commissions and fees, maybe
it would be an alternative to have a second bank account in a
different country than the UK, one that takes part in the EUR? The
money would remain there and would be used when EUR is needed (or
there would be occassionally few large transfers to balance the
accounts). Or is this legally impossible?
