I really like PayPal as both a buyer and a seller, and don't mind the fees. I've not run into the problems some sellers have run into.

As a buyer, I find myself leaning more toward auctions with PayPal if I'm not familiar with the seller, especially for anything a little expensive. That's because there is some recourse if something goes wrong. I am a little - just a little - of auctions that won't take PayPal. For anything questionable, I'm more willing to take a flier on something if I can pay w/PP.

As a seller, I think accepting PayPal makes sense. Credit card debt is reality in this country whether we like it or not. Some people can only get a more expensive card if they can use Paypal and pay it over a few months.

Just my opinion.
