Thanks John for your insight.

Question?

If I use PayPal, when a customer comes to my website, can he order products RIGHT THEN AND THERE with his choice of credit card?

Or does he have to sign up and first and get a PayPal account?

My customers are going to be autobody guys and gals, people wet-sanding fresh paint and then buffing out the car. Hard, dirty work.

Or possibly retailers checking us out perhaps buying wholesale.

If I have a customer, credit card in hand, say Visa or MasterCard, ready to buy... I don't want to lose a sale because when they go to order they first have to JUMP THROUGH A HOOP, i.e. go register with PayPal first.

Is that the way it works?

Or, if I use PayPal, can they whip out their credit card and BUY RIGHT NOW!

Were getting ready to run some ads on ESPN and I just don't want to lose a sale because our customers arn't as web-savy as other web shoppers.

Thanks,

Mike
