German cartel office initiates proceedings against PayPal

And Belgian have their own system too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bancontact_Payconiq_Company

Which means that everyone uses PayPal since it's the solution that you know is going to be accepted everywhere instead of having to juggle between 10 different services.

At least in the Netherlands this is not true at all. Everyone here uses iDeal, and if that doesnt work its back to a SEPA bank transfer

iDeal is (maybe) nice for people targeting the Dutch market. But what about somebody targeting larger parts of the European market or global. Or even if just attracting tourists who want to order a Pizza for delivery. Do they have to implement all the different national systems? - PayPal "solves" that.
