decorative animated paypal gifs   (+4, -1)  [vote for, against]
just the faintest hint of an actual invention Paypal buttons that have a shimmery reflective water area as well as rotating words of wisdom attract donors to donate at creative sites

Paypal buttons what if they could bring online creators 20 or 30 pt more donations

You've seen them, and, further I've even used them to donate to various artists n authors on the web

I think that a paypal button with a shimmery water reflection like I think I saw on an ipod screen would attract the eye with minimal annoyance as the "tasteful version"

moving the liveliness factor up a little a paypal button that is the clickable center of a partially covering gif is also possible (george smiling (payp))al Thus winking excited george or a girl picture partially overlaps a paypal button that remains clickable

Note: girl picture get 70 to 100 times the clicks at youtube thus a cheesecake picture overlaying a paypal button could be effective

then theres the competent version: a javascript nugget that has any picture as clickable then uses javascript to call a paypal function

Of the hundreds of thousands or millions of paypal buttons out there supporting artists I have seen none with attention attraction A rapid look online revealed zero actual animated paypal buttons

It is possible this could improve the revenue of online creators any where from a little to a bunch

I say that as such things as telling a joke or drawing a sun on a check give waitresses more than 30 pt more tips (link)
