    Thanks for the context. Here in the UK I never experienced a website that didn’t take payment via credit card directly as a first option - that’s always been there default, with some sites offering PayPal as a second or third way to pay.

    And about punching the numbers manually then well, sometimes a bit of Mechanical Turk works just fine lol! :)

      I deal with websites today that are optimized for PayPal first with worse second and third options.

      A lot of websites with third party vendors rely on PayPal since it is the cheapest account for a seller with international access and PayPal handles the fraud investigation.
