There's another good reason to use Paypal apart from the ones mentioned. Because I'm in the UK and often buy from the US, I always use Paypal for these - getting a cheque in dollars is expensive and time consuming.
With Paypal I just click and it takes the right amount of money out of my account - instant!
If it wasn't for Paypal I wouldn't use eBay very much (which would be sad, because it gives me a great deal of fun!)
