for those of us with paranoid complexes... 
....do you get personal information when we pay thru paypal? and if we were to mail a contribution....can we send money orders?
I do not see any payment information (credit cards, bank account numbers etc.), but I do see the registration information such as your name and address. I don't keep any of that around. Once a contribution has been placed into our account, that information gets deleted. I don't make any record of it here, and don't use it to contact people. It's very helpful, however, if users reference their user name here on BetterMost when using Paypal, as often the e-mail addresses and names don't match any user information here and it's very hard to upgrade people when I can't figure out who they are.
Money orders drawn in U.S. dollars are also fine, but you have extremely low risk using Paypal, and I highly recommend it because it's free and secure. International users, unless you get a postal money order drawn in U.S. funds, the handling and bank fees associated with these checks/money orders means your donation ends up mostly going to the local bank, which charges extra to handle these. I highly recommend Paypal for international users as well, because you can use your credit or debit card (with recognized symbol - Visa, Mastercard, Access, etc.) and incur no postage or money order fees.
