Donate Button - Paypal.me or the other one?

[Bradles]

Hi all,

Most of the calibre plugins that have a donate button use the PayPal link like this:

https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id={some id}

This seems to require the PayPal account be converted to a business account. Are there any hidden implications to this? (I'm in Australia if that makes any difference.)

One plugin uses the Paypal.me function, like this:

https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/{some code}

That looks easier to use, but why aren't more people using it?

Cheers.
