Nobody has asked me to take Billpoint; about half of my bidders use PayPal. I doubt there's any advantage to doing so, so I am sticking with PayPal.

We sold over 500 items this week.
Almost 100 have been paid already by BillPoint's Instant Payment option.
We have requests for another 75 BillPoint invoices to be sent to people.
We have 10 requests for payment by PayPal.
We don't accept PayPal. We do not intend to start accepting PayPal.
We are international sellers and BillPoint has bent over backwards to help us out. PayPal has done absolutely nothing for us except pretend to expand their operations internationally. No international seller should be accepting PayPal unless they want to set up an account in the USA.
Our customers want BillPoint and they don't seem to want PayPal at all anymore.
