This may be a stupid question, but I'm not always very good at understanding things when I read them, so I apologize if this is stupid.

What is the purpose of having a linked paypal account? Is it simply another way for lenders to see who is reliable and such? Or will late payments be made using paypal? I have never used paypal so I am not sure how it works and such...

Again, sorry if this is a stupid question, but it would be great if someone could clear up my confusion for me!! Thank you!

BTCJam only accept verified paypal which is that paypal has done the hard work of making sure they say who they are.


Right, I understand this. But it does not mean that BTCJam will take money from paypal in order to pay overdue loans, correct? I understand that borrowers who have verified paypal are likely to be much more reliable, but things happen (people forget to pay on time, etc) and I am just wondering if paypal is being used as a back-up money supply for overdue payments on BTCJam.
