It's kind of a fine point, but I suspect the difference is that PayPal
is a middle man, rather than the vendor of the widget that's being
bought. When someone sends money via PayPal, that's just what they are
doing. "Sending money". Their transaction with PayPal is to send
money, not buy the widget. It's kind of a fine point, and I'm no
lawyer, but it's more like you're wiring money to someone via PayPal
than buying the end product from PayPal.

dougeies, it is against federal law to charge a credit card before

services are

rendered/product is shipped. What word don't you understand?


Are you sure about that? I have had a web-shop, using PayPal. The moment
someone ordered a product, Paypal immediately charged his/her creditcard and
an e-mail was sent to me to inform me of the payment made so I could ship
the goods. This is standard practise. Now don't tell me the entire Paypal
system would be against federal law.
