PayPal is crap, I don't accept it either. Direct transfer I'll accept, but credit card, forget it. I don't want to pay additional fees for credit cards. It's ok to pay with check, you can always cancel it if you're not satisfied with something.
So taht you know, PayPal are pansies. Too soft. If you're a buyer, your best friend is credit card, prefferably AMEX, second best friend is your bank. Write a check, you can cancel it if it looks fishy. Same with credit card, call them and dispute a charge. Much more response than PayPal and much more friendlier towards you, especially AMEX.
Those 3% fees really don't pay for themselves when on average a credit card buyer spends
18%more than a cash buyer.
