And right you are -- at least as regards the Wikimedia Foundation!
That's intriguing!

A person trying to likewise donate money to the Wikimedia Foundation 
with paypal indeed IS NOT forced to create an account.
(see http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Fundraising/USD/onetime )
However, a person trying to donate money through paypal via the button 
on my own website IS forced to create an account.
(see www.ropersonline.com/dict)

Does anybody know why that would be?

Presumably I did something different/wrong when setting up my donation 
button?
'Wonder what needs to be done to get things to work the way they work 
for the foundation?

Sorry for moving to something off-topic as regards this list, but I'm 
genuinely quite curious and would like to invite replies. (If you think 
there's less of a public interest in your reply, then please email me 
direct instead the list.)
