probably because of the fact that paypal is an unreliable source on which to build a business once it becomes big enough.

there are too many horror stories.

This was a constant worry in my previous business (in the retail sector), but we did over £140,000 (GBP) of sales through PayPal over the two years we were active and never had a problem.

I'm considering using them with my new startup just for the first few months while I get up and running, purely because the setup cost is free. If I can prove the business idea works then I'll upgrade to a "proper" payment gateway.
