Since you seem to have a short memory, I will repeat what I said before:

"Actually it takes several days to several weeks to set up the PayPal 
account depending whether you have online access to the bank account 
that is linked to to the PayPal account because you have to validate 
that several test deposits to the account.

Once you have the proper code snippets for your site it does not take 
long to set up a page if you have direct access to the website server. 
(Interestingly enough, you cannot use the PayPal Subscription buttons 
if you want members to be able to pay with something other than a 
PayPal account. You have to use a standard produce button. The first 
two times I called PayPal support about that issue they could not 
explain it to me)

It helps to have a full understanding of the context."
