This is of interest to me as well, as I use PayPal as the main payment  
method, for pretty much the same reasons as Malte.

As a relatively heavy Paypal user myself, I get roughly 20x more eBay  
phishing emails than I do PayPal, which makes for maybe one every two  
months for PayPal.

It's also worth pointing out (as I do on my payments pages) that you  
do NOT need a PayPal account to pay via PayPal - just a credit card.

What does everyone else use? Kagi, eSellerate, Share-it?

P.S. Just this morning I got "Sadly, with the conversion rate, your  
cool program costs $75!  I hope that
the $ bounces back.  Perhaps offer a US discount?" in the inbox.
