(Let Me) Give You The Money
The Brooklyn Comics Festival took place this past Saturday in Williamsburg. I was there, had fun, and bought a few nice prints and a couple of books.
My major purchase was an original sketch by Seth, one of my favorite comic artists. I had trouble paying the seller. I didn’t have that much cash, but he took PayPal. So I fired up the PayPal iPhone app, tried paying him several times, and all the transactions failed. He ended up calling his wife, who sat in front of a PayPal virtual terminal and I had to gave her my card info over the phone.
Where were Square or Dwolla when you needed them? Having experienced the newer, much simpler way of dealing with money transfer, it felt as if I’ve travelled through time where people are still stuck in a hell hole of eBay and PayPal. Or maybe I’m just delusional – let’s revisit this topic in two years.
