We just had a member get randomly selected by Paypal for a 'verification'…
…which caused a bundle of screwups. If this should happen to you, there are several things to note: a) Paypal's advisory page sounds as if it was written by someone not a native English speaker—and if this happens and you need your download asap, write to us! This is one more reason to be a member of WWAS (Wave)—since we know the people who correspond with us on this site, and we'll be happy to get you your download ASAP, and trust you to send us a check via the PO box you can find up in the top set of bars on this page, under CONTACT INFO. We have never gotten burned trusting our readers.

I signed up for PayPal a lot time ago. The verification was for everyone then. They would charge a fee to your credit card, and you had to wait till your credit card statement came, and there would be an authorization number on the credit card statement that we had to then upload to PayPal so that they would believe we were the owners of the credit card. A lot of thinking ahead was required if you wanted to use PayPal.

Less so now, and you can pay via credit card on Paypal, not a feature they advertise. You have to go through their set of screens to reach it. But you don't have to have an account to use it, which is why we picked it.
Oh, I think PayPal is the only way to go if you're selling online. You don't have to take out a merchant account, either. I'm glad you don't have to actually use the PayPal membership process any more. That's a really good thing.
