I greatly prefer to both PAY with, and receive payments FROM Paypal.

In addition to their window of protection, if you make your payment to Paypal with your credit card, you will get your CC's protection in addition to PayPal's, which is useful for custom orders which might take longer than Paypal's 45 day window.

That said, I am now using "Square", a small business credit card processing service as well. It provides micro-businesses with the ability to process CC payments directly without standard bank fees of ~$50/mth for the swiper handset and +6% or more of each transaction in bank fees.
