I thought there would be a stigma attached to offering Paypal. Wrong.
It's very popular especially with Solo card users and people who don't
have credit cards at all. At one time you needed a paypal account to
use it (which put some people off) but not any more. On top of thats its
easy to integrate a paypal payment solution onto a website.

I suspect, because it can take up to 5/6 days to transfer paypal funds
to a UK bank (theres a suprise) balances build up and people look for
products they can buy directly using paypal. It's handy for me because
most of the text link advertisers I use also accept paypal.
