I see what raises your hackles (and mine not so long ago) but I changed my mind about PayPal somewhat. Firstly, you can never squeeze the last drop out of a good deal, you always have to leave a dollar for someone else, otherwise there wont be a deal in the first place.
Secondly, PayPal came to the rescue on a deal that went sour on me. Bought something for $150.- from ebay 10 weeks ago but never received the goods. Turns out the ebay'er was a scammer. Put a claim into PayPal and they came to the party and after investigating refunded my money in full which included the return of their profit as well. So I guess if you look at it this way the extra few cents you loose could save your bacon if there is a problem. (Pleas be assured I am not affiliated with PayPal).
Greetings
