PayPal stinks.
Once you spend $500 through them, you can't use their service anymore unless
you provide them with complete information about your bank account!
I refuse to do this (they claim it's fraud prevention). I have had maybe
a dozen emails back and forth with them on this problem (it takes them from
2 to 4 days to respond to an email, incidentally), and they won't budge.
I can't wait until that PayPal (dis)service goes bankrupt. Justice.
And, not to mention the other downsides of using their service, already
mentioned here.
Bah!

I found an article on eBay that I bid on and rather than sending
a Money Order, I thought I might try paypal? Can anyone
please comment? It seems reasonable from the outside as
compared to paying with a Money Order, but I thought that
asking first might help. Note that I am not comparing with
a process better than a Money Order since this vendor does
not accept a cheque, MC or VISA.
