C'mon Mark, surely you must own at least HALF of ebay, which owns
paypal. You just like to slum it and hang out with the Linux guys at
PLUG right?

Actually, thank you for pointing this out. They should make this much
more clear on their website ... it takes considerable digging to
discover this.

With paragraphs like this:

"When a buyer clicks the Buy Now button, he will be taken to a secure
PayPal payment page, where he can log in to an existing PayPal account
or sign up for a new one, and quickly complete the purchase."

in their Buy Now button page ... it is easy to get confused. They don't
seem to promote the fact that people don't need a paypal account.

Thanks

Austin
