If you examine the links it's the US PayPal that allows recurring
payments without a merchant account.
Need to check if the Australian PayPal allows it, which I fear it will
not, as the last time I looked into these things the services offered to
Australians by PayPal were very minimal.

Hi Steve,
I thought -perhaps wrongly? - that to do recurring payments on paypal I'd need
a pro account, which in turn requires a merchant account?
Nope, PayPal Express Checkout does recurring payments, no merchant account
required:

It's supported by the paypal-express gem, too:
