I actually LOLed and wondered if it's not an early April Fool's prank. Without going into everything that's wrong with this, let's just agree that the future of commerce for small business simply does not include PayPal at all.

I take it you do not sell items to teenagers (no credit cards) or internationally (bank transfers more culturally prefered). I (begrugingly) accept Paypal because their consumer mindshare among those two groups is extremely high. For an example, look at any popular Kickstarter: There is a small contingent of customers wanting Paypal.

You probably shouldn't bet 100% of your business with Paypal, but a vocal minority prefers it.
