Support for paypal donations in the Store

Flattr support is nice for those who want to use Flattr. However, the vast majority of developers prefers Paypal for donations, probably because the vast majority of donators uses Paypal for donations. Also, Flattr demands creators to have an additional Skrill/Moneybookers account if they actually want to withdraw money.

So, what about adding the possibility to add a Paypal account instead of a Flattr account? Or just a generic donation URL, leaving it up to the developer to decide which service(s) they want to use.

Support for paypal custom (at least paypal) donations in the Store

EDIT: it is now more than a year since Flattr has announced their plans to switch to Mangopay, AFAIK there still is no ETA. Their replies on Twitter remain vague. Paypal support has been removed long time ago.

Please consider a generic or common solution for app developers, instead of binding them to a third party which requires its users to bind to a fourth party (Skrill).
