Be warned: I used this last summer for another congress where I was part 
of the organisation. At one moment Paypal decided that they had a reason 
to close our paypal account. 
>From that moment on we tried to contact *somebody* at paypal. There is no 
email address you can send mail to (only a webform with very little 
space). There is no phone number, no street address. Our laywer spent 
several days unsuccessfully trying to reach somebody to find out what 
paypal *thought* the problem was.

Basically our conclusion was that it is a totally unreliable service for 
anything serious.
If you keep on using it, be very sure to get all your money out of it on a 
daily basis and put it on a real bank account.
