It would really be nice and cut down on some PM's if there was a field in your profile to give your Paypal email address.

Another nice thing would be to make your heatware linkable, no just give the username.

I hope I've explained this clearly. Let me know if I need to explain further.

For now, I have my paypal linked in my profile under "Website".
Of course, you can't do that if you have a website.

I wouldn't use this feature if it's made available. If I'm dealing with someone, I feel the "giving out" of the payment address as one of the final steps in finalizing an agreement. Kind of like a virtual handshake: agreed, here's my info, let's get the ball rolling. And if you're discussing something with the other trader, an extra PM per deal isn't really *that* much.

This I would support, though. :) No more cut-and-paste and/or a heatware search.

Nice workaround! I would still like a linkable heat field though.

Considering the % of actual users who use heat and/or paypal, I don't imagine it's truly worth it. As a workaround, I say include the pertinent info in your sig.

This is bad idea because I had someone paypal me before we even talked about a deal... and the item had already been sold to someone else. Don't list your paypal addy in your FS/FT posts, either.
