I have asked the folks here to accept PayPal whenever they send out their questionnaire. Russell did hit on something I had not really considered. It could be something of a hassle to setup what would have to be most likely, a totally separate checkout system just for PayPal. It is relatively easy to setup a PayPal Shopping Cart system, but running TWO distinct systems on the site could be logistical pain in the a.. neck. However, there may be a compromise. PayPal does offer a "virtual" debit card via MasterCard for online purchases. The PayPal Debit Bar is available to U.S. members in good standing who have a positive balance in their PayPal account, have added a credit card to their PayPal account, and whose an account that has not been locked or restricted. More information is available from your PayPal account in the Shop Anywhere link. It is a debit and NOT a credit card, but any merchant that accepts MasterCard should accept this. There is, I believe, a $150 a day purchase limit (for security reasons) and, of course, you cannot spend more than what you have in your PayPal account. Russell, is there any reason I am not thinking of that would prevent Renderosity from accepting this just as they do any other MasterCard? Take care and be well. casamerica
