Why always paypal? Is it a US thing? Here its quite normal to provide a IBAN and Swift code; and whats wrong with traditional bank transfers such as that?
It is even often “packaged up”; e.g. in the UK “Giros” and in .de “Einzahlungsschein”.
All thats really needed is IBAN, Swift and recipient (Biz address) and you can send money without any (possibly) dodgy third party broker (e.g. paypal), direct from your secure internet banking portal.
Or credit card, but I know thats an overhead for sellers, hense the popularity of bank transfers.
