Too many bad stories out there, including some really bad ones that some of the folks here experienced. I don't think it has ever been a problem not to take it. I will take it for my book, simply because if someone is enough of an a-hole to want to cheat me out of a book, I will just send another darn book rather than fight. For my cards, though, I really loathe the idea of being paypal-jacked by an unscrupulous buyer. If I take a check or MO and hold it to clear, an unscrupulous buyer cannot use the paypal or credit card system to game me.

As a buyer, I don't mind paypal but I have never refused to deal with a decent seller because he did not take it. I will say that on occasion when a low feedback or dodgy seller is offering a card I want, his or her willingness to take paypal does reassure me simply because I know I can hammer him/her via my credit card company if the goods don't arrive.
