Yes, I have no problem with that. But some may not like PayPal specifically, and would prefer some alternative that doesn't give money to PayPal. That is how I perceived the post by Uppercastle.
I also agree that there currently is no alternative. PayPal has almost(?) a monopoly on small international payments.
