I sent the MaxAppleZoom guy (in Belguim) cash. I got a confirmation postcard
back in about three weeks. On the postcard he says:
    "Financial feedback from the U.S. - the country with the largest
    potential user base - has been even lower than expected. It
    looks like people are reluctant to send money by air mail,
    fearing that I might not get it. In my opinion, not sending any
    money is also a quite secure way to ensure that I do not get any
    payments... The postal service has been refined for more than
    100 years and the service provided nowadays is, if rather slow,
    extremely reliable"
