Seriously. I want to be able to click a "Buy now" link and have the user immediately taken to PayPal for payment. I don't need to capture personal information (since the user is authenticated) or address information (since the product is not being shipped and I'm not collecting financial info), and the user will only be purchasing a single product.

I realize that eC uses a cart paradigm, but there needs to be some way to skip over the cart and checkout screens and simply allow the customer to pay.

I agree, as I'm in the same situation. The only thing I find positive about the cart is that you can leave it visible to the user at all times so that they might have an easy way to navigate to the purchase, or re-find a purchase that is pending.

The cart module has now been split up and there is now an ec_checkout module, and the cart module. Doing this meant that I could create the ec_buynow module which means that people can do single click to checkout.

The checkout module doesn't appear to have made it to CVS yet. This has caused me some headaches as the Cart module disabled itself when the dependency for ec_checkout was defined and committed but the checkout module doesn't exist. Please make this available soon.

Disregard my comment (#5). For some reason, when I ran CVS update it did not pull the newly added ec_checkout module. Doing a fresh checkout resolved the issue for me.
