Same here: I got Paypal up and running a few years back very easily
using recurring payments. We did go through the same process that Tim
did, verifying our bank accounts etc, but it wasn't much hassle. Our
implementation is a very simple subscribe button which redirects to
Paypal's payment pages, so that might explain the difference.

Thanks
