"The only thing is that the user has to create an account for themselves first before they can subscribe (which then gives them the extra role)."

Is this pretty automated (changes role once paypal receives payment)? Does it set the expiration date automatically also?

I was going to use uc_role for a project and I'm glad I read this first otherwise I might be stuck also...although I would like to use uc_role since it will give payment option of paypal or check.
