My website will have paypal as the purchasing outlet. Mostly because I don't have alot of money and seems to be the cheapest. Has anyone in here have any thoughts on this? Are consumers turned off by this? I know myself I prefer to have a very easy purchasing site where I just punch in my credit card number and its done. But now that I'm on the other side and budget is a big issue I can only use pay pal. Are consumers turned off by this? Has anyone in here use paypal and is succesful. Thank you for your feedback
if you sign up for paypal payments pro you can process credit cards along with paypal and you can set up your site so that they dont have to leave your site to go to paypal to pay. I use it and it works great for my site.

Your customers can use their credit cards without being PayPal members if you have a PP Business account. It's free, just pay the processing fees.
There are a number of people who hate PayPal and will not use it, no matter what. But don't worry about them, take care of the other 99% of the people in the world and you'll do just fine.
Also, having a regulare credit card merchant account limits the cards you can take. The US processors only take cards from Nortyh America, etc. I have found that I need PayPal and Moneybookers (a UK kind of PP) in addition to sell internationally.

I have a shopping cart website (os commerce) with my own payment gateway accepting all major credit cards. Last week I added Paypal as a payment option and my orders actually spiked. The "paranoid" people prefer PayPal because of the guarantees they offer.
One thing I hate about Paypal is it's very easy for customers to stop the payment after item has been shipped. I haven't had that problem because I make sure my products are top quality, but I've known some people who had some bad experiences.
Yes, everyone needs to have PayPal as an option. Years ago I was totally against them, but today I truly believe you are hurting yourself if you do not offer it. At the same time, I think you should also have a regular merchant account if you can afford it or have the volume to justify it.
