Personally I doubt the motive of someone who doesn't accept PayPal but maybe I'm being too cynical.

Be careful. It's a tactic used by scammers to not use Paypal but request bank transfer instead
Nooooooo no no, the cynicism is shared thus my post!
This is exactly my thinking.

In that case unless it's a small amount that you don't mind risking I think you should steer clear.
They don’t, but that doesn’t change my question.

My attitude: no PayPal, no deal.

I'm not sure that sending money to an email address is considered (or protected) the same as paying an invoice for a particular service or goods.
I used PayPal recently to pay for a service. I got an invoice for the service requested. I believe they do invoicing for businesses.
Paypal is for amatures. Any reputable business will take credit cards.

I've used PayPal for 10 years now and have never had a problem. I think it's a simple and easy way of paying for things.
Who said it was a business they were purchasing from?

A lot of people on eBay (for instance) aren't businesses just individuals selling a few bits and bobs. That's when PayPal is most useful, as you say they are "amatures" (sic).
I don’t have a credit card, I have nothing on HP, I have no bank loans, but I do have PayPal. My credit rating is rubbish, and I can only assume that I’m an armature (sick (sic))

Exactly my ethos. I don't do credit; if i can't afford it i don't do it
I do have a credit card, but purely for cash back and one bill a month with no charges ever.
I had a no quibble refund from Paypal today, as a seller hadn't sent the product. It was only £25, but worth having.
I have avoided using Paypal twice over the last 15 years, but it's outside the eBay trading rules, or was at that time at least.
