I wouldnt touch PAYPAL with a barge pole. If you are selling software or anything delivered over the internet, they can just pull the money out of your account and there is nothing you can say they will accept.
I just had someone order some domain names through my regitsration service, and even though i registered the domains (incurring cost myself ) and can prove the domains are up and registered, paypal still reversed the transaction, saying they thought it MIGHT BE fraudulent. MIGHT BE!!! Not actually fraudulent - just MIGHT BE for gods sake. I can't degister the domain or get my money back i outlayed for the domains, so i am out of pocket. I asked the paypal person I was talking to how i can change things so I dont get this happening in teh future, and his answer was, you cant. You cant use PAYPAL if you are selling virtual goods, and expect to get protection from Paypal As i said, my opinion is to tell paypal to take their business and shove it.
