There is the possibility that those who refuse to use Paypal are considered an eccentric minority-- and one that he is willing to write off. Just as there are people who don't use/can't get credit cards of any type, and want to send cash or money orders through the mail-- most e-commerce businesses are willing to write off those potential customers, considering the risks and costs of dealing with cash more than that minority is worth.

And that is fine, the point I was making still stands, he is writing off customers, but if he is willing to do that, then no harm no foul. From my side, I just won't read the books (no big deal), and on his side, his potential market is smaller (his call to decide if it is a concern).
