Not anymore. You can now pay with you cc without creating a paypal account.
So it also answers you last question. Do a little research, you should find
something.

Even the little guys (37signals Basecamp
and Backpack, FreshBooks, etc..)

I've got a backpack basic plan and I was "forced" to pay with my cc. I wish
they accepted paypal! Paypal is not unprofessional! It's a secure, fast and
convenient way to handle money.

Marcelo, André,

Many thanks for responses!

I've done a bit of research on PayPal, and it doesn't seem too great.

For one - it looks like the buyers need to have a PayPal account,
which is a big inconvenience for them. If I needed to create a PayPal
account before I could buy something, I'd just decide that it's not
worth it.

Two - it seems unprofessional. None of the subscription-based services
that I subscribe to use it. Even the little guys (37signals Basecamp
and Backpack, FreshBooks, etc..)

Is there a way to use PayPal that doesn't require buyers to have a
PayPal account, and is transparent to them?

Cheers,
Matt
