As compared to the problems I had in the wild west days of eBay with payment via check and MO--fake cards, non-conforming goods, cards that were never shipped--I am just fine with handing a bit over for a service that provides accountability. It only takes one fake OJ or non-shipped vintage photo (both events I was 'lucky' enough to be on the buying end of) on eBay to equal all the paypal fees.

If you're buying from reputable sellers (i.e. those with overwhelmingly positive feedback), I'd say the chances of fake cards, non-conforming goods, cards that were never shipped...is pretty low. Me personally, I'd rather not be charged a fee to pay for an item I've already been charged a fee on.
