I am trying to gather some inspiration for a checkout page - in doing so, I'd love to get some suggestions as to what sites have the best checkout / payment experience.
Also, any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Sometimes for PayPal-based payment there seems to be no way to pay without first signing up for PayPal. Not always -- many times I can give PayPal a credit card and say "No thanks" to a sign-up invitation. But sometimes that option just isn't there.
There's nothing for sale that's so valuable as to make me join PayPal. Lacking alternatives (i.e., not even a damn money order), I just won't buy.
(We can discuss PayPal in some other thread, not here).
