The claim that PayPal is "a must have" for e-commerce is misleading at best - the largest e-commerce sellers largely _don't_ accept PayPal (see, for example, Amazon) - and I would argue that isn't some weird coincidence.
> Some companies try to abandon PayPal and see a sharp decline in sales.
Removing PayPal is going to be way different than not having it in the first place, because you have cultivated a client base that expects to pay with PayPal.

- kevin_thibedeau 4y agoThe largest sellers aren't a reason to use PayPal. They can be assumed to have their shit together by now and can protect payment details from a breach. But for smaller e-commerce sites I'd never in a million years trust them with direct CC number entry. You need a proxy and in the US PayPal is the only dependable option for payers.
