Yeah, that guy obviously was an asshole, probably pissed because
you weren't the first person to ask that either.  In my opinion, and I do
sell stuff on ebay, if you are a serious seller and don't accept paypal,
credit card payments included, you are just throwing away business.
There is protection for verified members, so at least if an auction was
a scam Paypal can refund your money.  That is a small part of course.
It's so much faster doing things with Paypal, that I personally, will not
bid on something if they don't accept paypal, unless it's an absolute must
have item.
