I am no fan of Paypal.
That said, I've sold 6 figures worth of virtual MMO goods on Paypal over last 15 years. There have been a few fraud cases, but with proper security precautions they have been few. Then again I mostly dealt with EQ not WoW.
Paypal did freeze my account some time around 2003, it took major faxing to get it to unfreeze.
Paypal is more convenient/safer for casual buyers than most other payment options starting from CC ending with Bitcoin(I use/own BTC). I don't mind paying with Paypal for some small item from China but would be hesitant to use a CC.
At least that is the perception that Paypal has worked hard to cultivate.
