PayPal allows the user to accept payment for almost any kind of tangible product or intangible service. When one is selling services, much of the information PayPal gathers is superfluous. One might not always need the customer's address, for instance, one most likely will not need to charge any shipping or handling fees. By eliminating these options in the purchase buttons, the user can simplify the checkout process for the customers, thus making it easier to sell the services.
