    So do Credit Cards.

    You don't think a business a company as big as Apple with a product as big as iTunes can't negotiate special deal with PayPal? Considering that PayPal wants desperately to be seen as a payment method as legitimate as credit cards, I'd bet they're damn near bending over backwards for Apple.

    What I want to know is if Apple is going to have to deal with the craptastic PayPal customer service department.

    Interesting, but you know, most people probably have the opposite perspective: Linux won't do them any good until it's capable of running iTunes. Sorry, just the way it is.

    It's about cottonpickin' time that other sites besides eBay begin integrating with PayPal. I mean, seriously, how the devil is PayPal to be taken seriously if it's an eBay-only technology?
