I wanted to donate money to last.fm, so i needed a Paypal account. In Austria Paypal only supports credit cards, but in Germany it is possible to use it with normal bank accounts. Unfortunately the Paypal website is a bit unflexible and does not support bank accounts in a country different from the snail mail address (BTW Amazon does support this, but unfortunately they calculate the tax rate from the address and not from the bank account country). Hopefully paypal never has to send me snail mail, because I am now registered in “D-A-1170 Wien”.
BTW Paypal offers the possibility to add a “Donate via Paypal” button to your homepage. But I doubt anyone would donate money for reading this blog 🙂
