chances are, its probably missing some passed varibles.

But yes, you NO LONGER have to have an account with paypal to pay a 
paypal cart.  you can use your credit card just like you normally would 
in a cart without ever signing up for paypal services/accounts.

I prefer paypal over any other form of payment process as well, both as 
a buyer and a seller.

It's simple, easy, and it's easy to keep track of.  every month, i 
export an excel sheet with all my transactions.  done.

hell, the 1.05% interest i'm making in it is more than my bank offers 
for a passbook savings account too.
