A 2 digit check, on a 5 digit account shouldn't be that big a deal, but
with
PayPal in the handling chain, that 2 digit check has the possibility of
turning into an empty account, and that's so not going to happen.
1. Get yourself a VisaBucks debit card from some bank providing the
service. Transfer in the maximum $500. (Or $23.72 if you prefer.)
2. Get a Paypal account and attach it to that "credit" card.
3. Use the Paypal button. Assuming that they are immoral, they can drain
the account for the entire $23.72 in it.
