There is one problem with using this payment method: Paypal will offer 
absolutely no buyer protection if you pay this way. So if you know the 
seller is trustworthy, then this is fine, albeit a little dishonest. 
But, if you get screwed trying to screw Paypal, don't expect them help 
you get your money back.
