i dont think the tank will last you a whole day, not if you plan to shoot more than 1000 pballs anyways.

A 4500 fill on a 68ci tank would last me roughly about 1600 shots on a Ego.
It'll be different with various guns.

So all day? Depends on how much you plan to shoot I guess and what gun your shooting.
Like my cocker is a air pig and so are some shockers.

If you are buying a tank from the USA you MUST make sure that it has the TC (Transport Canada) tag on it... some tanks from the US only have the DOT (Dept of Transportation) tags on them... these cannot legally be filled up here in Canada.

You should be able to get about 2/3's to 3/4's of a case off of a 4.5k fill with that tank depending on the marker.

You can set PayPal up with your regular bank account and funds can be flushed down into it.
I think you can also get a Paypal debit card so you can widthdrawl for cash in hand.
I set mine to my chq acct and got it off my credit card just for ease of use.

TM7 are very nice. Good choice. there are even speedball teams that use them and do very well.

You could also do a email money transfer from you online banking. then tom just needs to click on the email and log into his online banking. its instant and only cost like a buck or two for you to send it, and free for the reciever.

The output of most standard tanks are only 850psi. a 300psi or 4500psi tank are just fill pressures, you'll never see that past the regulator (one of the burst disks would blow long before that). Also factor in the standard 5:1 safety ratio for pressure line.
The 4500psi tank would net you longer times between fills and are usually lighter than the older 3000psi tanks as most tanks these days are fiber wrapped aluminum. I'm not saying get the 4500's, just didn't want you to base your decision on a misunderstanding of your equipment. I personally use 3000psi tanks as I purchased them before 4500's were the norm, can't justify the new tank purchase now though.

Good choice on the TM7, not that I'm biased. Check into a TM series Rip Clip w/ RF adapter and an X-7 hopper should make for a seriously damaging combo.
