Title: Argos now accepts PayPal!

Argos now accepts PayPal!  :o
QuoteOne of the UK's favourite brands, Argos is known for its great value products and convenient way to shop. Find everything from electrical goods to toys and gifts, all in one place.

PayPal really is getting more and more mainstream.
So anyone here still refuse to use? :)

I hated paypal for years.

Now I prefer it - not because I like them any more, but mostly because I am too lazy to get up and get my wallet from my coat pocket.
I guess I also feel safer with Paypal - although 'feel safer' and 'am safer' may not be the same thing.

The laziness issue is one for me.  Since we started accepting paypal the laziness has crept up and I use it more and more for purchases. In fact, this month is the first one ever where the balance has been negative.

Laziness works a treat for amazon as well.  Knowing that someone on amazon probably sells what I am after and I won't have to dig out / remember my card number earns them a few grand extra in sales a year as well.

I use it a lot for business, prefer to use it only for income though.

I much rather use CC on purchases, and under no circumstances will they get my bank account info.
