It provides secure web payment w/o looking at bank accounts or requiring sign
up. It is unlike (at least) Kagi, in that there is no storefront. You request an
invoice from the seller, the seller sends it, you pay it. As with Paypal, the
seller never sees your CC number. Nothing could be simpler, but the turnaround
is longer than with Paypal (a few days as opposed to essentially instantaneous
payment).

What eBay has done is automate all the invoicing and tied it back to auction
item numbers. But the system does not require any eBay tie-in. The seller can
manually send an invoice to anyone who requests one.
