Tuvia,

I agree that "direct debit" makes sense for utilities, telephony and other regular variable bills. In the UK the IRS also receives sales tax via this means: you file your VAT return and they debit the account. In Australasia, tax and many other bills are "push" paid electronically. The electronic transaction generally includes a reference and description field, with your tax ID and/or invoice number expected in the reference. Trademe, the Australasian equivalent of Ebay, relies substantially on quick electronic payment into the seller's account, iow not via Paypal or some other intermediary. I have not written a check for many, many years- it's cheaper and simpler to make electronic payment or to use a credit card with full balance payment also debited automatically once a month.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
