Already on my to-do list, possibly in combination with directly accepting
credit cards instead of having those go via paypal.

But since the topic has come up, I'm interested in hearing from people on
the list about this:
1. Would you use this, or do you prefer to log in and manually deposit
funds?  (Whatever happens, it's going to be optional.)
2. Would you prefer it to be structured?  "Charge my card $X whenever my
account balance falls below $Y"?  "On the first day of each month, charge
my card enough to bring my balance up to $X"?  Something else?
