I don't think PayPal are as enthusiastic in joining you in an "adventure" as you think. Especially if that adventure includes credit card chargebacks.



Sounds like an opportunity to create a crowdfunding site that only accepts cash in the mail. But then, I'm sure you open up a whole new can of worms.


The problem there is getting people off their asses to actually do it. One-click Paypal login has a very low barrier to purchase.


Physically processing that would be too expensive. The crowdfunding site would have to take a massive percetage/flat fee.
