hm, where do I generate such a form?

If I am not mistaken, it is an option that must be enabled in the Paypal

This (according to my quick research) is not possible for all
accounts, it depends on where your account is based. It's possible for
UK, Switzerland and Austria, but not for Germany or Liechtenstein.

Maybe this changed in the meantime (but I kind of doubt it, since the
sources say that the "optional account" setting would be the default,
even for existing accounts)

I believe you are incorrect... there are lots of sites that allow this.

If I am not mistaken, it is an option that must be enabled in the Paypal
accounts settings. From a quick random google:

"Here's how to turn this setting on within your PayPal account:

1. Log in to your PayPal Account here and select the Profile tab.

2. Under Selling Preferences select the Website Payment Preferences
   link.

3. Scroll down the page to the section titled PayPal Account Optional
   and select On."

Hi,

AFAIK it was never possible to use paypal without having an account with 
them, also if you pay by CC the card data have to be inserted and 
verified somewhere...


Where should they take the money from if you would not have to register?
At OOo it says:
"Payment via PayPal or credit card
If you have a PayPal account or a credit card, click the button below to 
get started."


The click takes you to paypal login...

I want to donate to Libre Office but the PayPal screen is set up to

For various reasons I do not wish to do this - I just want to make a

donation.


Other sites can do this - in fact the old OpenOffice site has such a

screen that works without setting up a PayPal account.


I know it is not worth changing your site to get just one donation - but

others may be put off as well which is why I am writing to you.
