I am a buyer only, and I love paypal. Mostly because I am a lazy buyer. I usually won't bid on something unless they take paypal. I would bet that 2/3 of my purchases would not have been made if I had to get a money order or mail a check. I don't even have checks anymore. I don't have stamps or envelopes. I think paypal helps buyers buy, and that helps sellers sell. I think it is well worth the 3% hit.

Granted, I understand how buyers can be angry at paypal when they put holds on money, remove money from your account because buyer made a complaint, etc, and I think those are legitimate complaints that need to be addressed, but the 3% fee is worth it to the sellers (in my opinion).
