Really hoping that this will be like the old PayPal, where you could just setup an account (or multiple!) and just go and start collecting credit card payments.

Can't do this anymore as they only allow you to link your bank account to a single PayPal account. Also there are a lot more ID requirements nowadays, so you can't just setup a virtual business like you used to - a separate account for each new website.

I can understand why, but surely a suitably long holding period (account probation period) would solve the fraud and chargeback issues caused by the scammers who ruin it for the rest of us!
