This isn't a direct answer to your question, but I suggest you think hard 
about signing up with paypal:

"eBay bends over backwards to hand users' personal info to police"

(Paypal is owned by eBay)

"Anti-abortion activist complains Paypal seized his account"

"Paypal deletes account of independent news site, gives no reason"
<http://www.politechbot.com/p-04548.html>

"Politech members reply over Paypal deleting news site account"
<http://www.politechbot.com/p-04552.html>

One of these mentions Affero, <http://www.affero.com/>. I don't know 
anything about them other than what's on their home page, but you might 
check them out.
