I have dissuaded clients from using PayPal because the process of getting
your checking account verified is lengthy.  Curious what all of your think
about it.  Also, I have never had the opportunity to use PayPal for credit
card purchases.  Does that work in the same way that other online merchant
accounts work?
TIA!
