Ebay is the sole reason I still use paypal as a consumer. It seems very hard or impossible to buy things on ebay without having a paypal account.


That's fair enough, I'm not an Ebay customer (I manage quite well via the Amazon marketplace and places like extremedeals). I wonder if locking people into their system causes Ebay any decreased revenue. That would be hard to test for though if there are no other payment methods.
