I too as both a busy seller and a habitual eBayer like the convenience of
PayPal. I do keep a wary eye out for them also. Personally I think sellers who
only accept Paypal are just plain lazy and do not care about sales. I accept
money orders and PayPal but you can be sure I don't accept checks.

Perfect example. Broke my digital camera the other day. So, at 5:45am while
dealing with my usual round of insomnia theater I bought a new Nikon on eBay
with buy it now and paid right then and there. Done, clean simple.
