Re: [libreoffice-website] update on credit card payment

That is my wonder, since PayPal is, as far as I am concerned, the 
standard for taking payments over the Internet.

Most big companies I look at has a PayPal payment option.  The only ones 
that do not, for me, are the Cable company that provides my 
phone/cable/Internet services, and the Insurance company for my car and 
apartment insurance.

   I have has a "business" account with PayPal since the mid 90's.  I
   rarely have used it to take payments, but I set it up for my
   business [Kracked Press Productions] and never set up a personal
   account when I "retired" the business name.  I now use Lungstrom.com
   on the account name, since my housing does not allow doing a
   business from the apartment.  Having packages come in as

   Kracked Press Productions
   ...address....
   ...state  zip...

   is not something that still can be done, since many of my packages
   are too big for the mail box system and so it is given to the
   complex's office.


Well, if it was not for PayPal, I would rarely buy anything online.
