We're considering allowing users to have a Willet account (ie. new user name and pw). Aren't people sick of having so many logins these days? That was part of the incentive to use FB - keep things simple!

I personally don't mind creating an account for a service I find valuable. Especially if it's going to be dealing with money. In that case, I would rather create a dedicated account than rely on some external party.

I think when you're talking about a payment integration system, having to create an account is not what will stop "sellers", as you call them, from signing up. It's probably different for end users though.

Fair enough. I'll bump this to the front of the feature queue!
I think it goes both ways. I personally prefer not having to create an account, but others are concerned about privacy, don't want their accounts linked (like in BSG), or don't have accounts.
