Default Is PayPal required?

I make most of my money through AdSense and don't make money via PayPal or Credit Cards. However, I was wondering whether or not you think that PayPal is required for me to do Internet business. Do I need to get it? I just read so many warnings about it.

Yes, you definitely need it. If you ever hire someone or need to pay someone over the Internet, chances are they will ask for a payment via Paypal. How do you pay for hosting? Paying via Paypal is very convenient. Unless you are not eligible for a Paypal account, I don't see why you wouldn't have one.

I pay for hosting with my credit card. I guess I should just sign up for PayPal.

These two websites scare me:

I think PayPal is definitely a requirement for anyone who does any kind of business over the Internet. There are problems with PayPal as outlined in those two websites that you point out, but there's also a lot of great things about PayPal. PayPal makes it very easy for total srangers to do business together. You can read my PayPal Analysis for more information about PayPal.

PayPal is a must for any Internet businessman. I don't see how you can possibly make Internet business exchanges without it. I've been using PayPal for about three years now. I had known about it before, but I never really had a need to use it until then.

PayPal is definitely a requirement. I've been using PayPal for a long time now and I'm happy to say that I've never had a problem with them. I like their service and I find their support good too. I'm a very satisfied PayPal customer.
