Do you think a site looks unprofessional if they use paypal?

No.. I don't find it makes a website look unprofesional.. alot of even big datacenters as well as online computer stores accept paypal.

Doesnt look unprofesional. And if it does i wouldnt care because 90% of my clients pay with Paypal.

Thanks for that, I wasnt sure. A lot of people say paypal is unprofessional and gives a "childish" look to a site

No I dont think it does at all but I do think it looks more professional if you have other options than paypal for payment, ie. through a third party merchant account or your own merchant account etc.

A lot dont want to pay via paypal even though they can use it for paypal payments also

So it's best just to ahve it as an option?

Thanks for the advice

It's a good option, a merchant account looks more pro but will pass on more cost to the customer, so it's down to what you wish to target.

Yes, that childesh thing comes from when that is all you offer, because the kids under age that try to run companies cant get cc processors or anything.

But it also stops teenagers from being able to set up and run their own business

Thats what i said right?

Or do you mean paypal stops them? I dont know how that is possible although you are supusto be 18 to signup for a paypal account.

No, I mean it's unfair for some teenagers who have good ideas and are willing to put the work into it but cant because they cant get a merchant

I use paypal, all clients use paypal, I have no problems, it's a good system
