what's the problem with paypal btw?
you can put in any credit card you want on the fly

i personally dislike it-- and, i hope they changed this, but they used to reject credit cards *already associated with a PayPal account*
if you put the number in directly. Extremely stupid and un-user friendly

so you could log in first

do i strike you as someone who cares to remember which cards are hooked in to what?

hehe

"You cannot use an e-mail address or card number that belongs to an existing PayPal account. If you have a PayPal account, please log in. If you don't, please change the e-mail address or card number and try again."
== massively stupid. I don't care what anyone says

hahaha
just log in
have it send you the pw

but serious usability issue that makes PayPal completely unsuitable for any serious e-commerce site
there's got to be tons of people who signed up for PayPal at one point, got in the system somehow (e-bay probably puts you there automatically) but don't actually know they still have it / want to use

this is an intentional decision to keep people on the reservation
putting their own interests way ahead of merchants who use them
