Paypal question...

[John Buchmann]

I know this is kind of off topic, but i am thinking of
integrating it in my asp.net site...

My question is: If someone buys something from my site
(using Paypal), and they are NOT a registered PayPal
user, can they buy my product immediately, or do they
first have to sign up, wait a few days, etc. before
actually ordering?

I realize that they MUST sign-up with PayPal, but i'm
just wondering if the process is just too long for
customers. Does anyone have any experience with this? I
asked many questions like this by email w/ Paypal, but
their answers don't help, i can't respond to an answer,
someone different answers me every time, and it takes far
too long for them to respond.

Thanks for your help!

IIRC, the sign-up process for PayPal was fairly quick and painless, at least
for credit card payments.

Thanks, Colin for your reply...

So you're saying that if a "NEW" PayPal user purchases
something, he/she will be able to do so without a lengthy
signup process?

If you have personal experience with this, could you give
a brief description of what the first-time Paypal user
would go through to buy from my site?

Thanks so much!

Yes, first time buyers is not a problem. You put your email address and
credit card information into paypal just like you would an other place.
