iTunes Music Store now accepting PayPal
Apple and PayPal today announced that the US iTunes Music Store now accepts PayPal for purchases of music, audiobooks and gift certificates. Starting today, PayPal users can shop at the store with a credit card, bank account or stored account balance. “We are thrilled that PayPal users can now buy their music on the world’s number one online music store,” said Todd Pearson, general manager of PayPal’s Merchant Services. “PayPal’s virtual wallet offers iTunes customers the convenience of paying in the way they prefer.” The first 500,000 customers to open a new iTunes account in the US using PayPal as their form of payment before March 31, 2005, will receive five free songs.

So what if we have an iTunes account already and want to add PayPal? Do we still get 5 free songs?

heck yeah! that’s great! I can’t use my debit card because I work at the bank so the billing address is “INTERNAL, US 00001”, which ITMS won’t accept… but paypal comes out of the same account… that’s the best news I’ve heard all day.

I don’t want to set up another account - I just want to use PayPal. Is there a way to either close my account and re-open using PAyPal as the payment method or to change the payment method of my existing account?
