PayPal is basically a pass-through wallet, meaning most people don't actually hold funds in their wallet but get they transactions funded one-on-one by a different source. For PayPal this is usually a credit card or direct debit from a bank account.

In most circumstances it's a lot cheaper to accept the credit card or do the direct debits directly (via a payment service provider). If you're operating internationally, find a PSP that offers many local payment options. For example, in many European countries, very few people have a credit card. If you offer your customers local payment options like Giropay and Sofort you won't need to bother with PayPal in my opinion.
