we'll keep this brief... we use paypal to process payments and make all of our lives easier. please keep in mind though that you don't need a paypal account to pay, although it does make thinks go faster.
if you don't have a paypal account, just look to the left hand side of the page after clicking the checkout link or button. you'll be given the option to pay with your credit card without signing in to a paypal account.
if you live in washington state, we hate to break it to you but we'll have to charge you sales tax.
