In Japan, people maninly use bank transfer. The fees are not that high as PayPal. In America, is paying through bank transfer uncommon? I know PayPal is easy and fast, but I feel PayPal fees are quite high.

Because most Americans will use a credit card online, and PayPal is supposed to be a secure way of using a credit card over the internet without giving the person you are buying from access to your account. You have to have money in the bank to make a transfer, and most Americans buy things online on credit.

PayPal is seen differently in different countries because each country has its own banking system. For example, in Germany there is a very good banking system that makes transfers easy. In the US, there is not. Also, it is convenient to transfer using PayPal because you only need to know their email address, not their bank account number. Giving out your bank account number could lead to identity theft or other fraud.
