The last two "batches" of auctions I've run (about 40 or so in the last few weeks) have had PayPal and Exchange Path removed as payment options. I offer MoneyZap, AChex, and BidPay.
So far, one AChex payment, one BidPay (international bidder though), and the rest have paid via check or money order.
I do wish the other services would catch on, because I worry that the lack of PP and EP might have hurt my sales in these "last minute" Christmas auctions, driving away bidders who wanted it by Christmas but didn't, for whatever reason, want to use a new payment service.
<sigh>
I can't take the risk of going back to PayPal or Exchangepath, though, after what I've read here and after what has happened to me personally (EP suspension was pretty upsetting, even though it has been resolved).. so I guess if they want to pay electronically badly enough they'll use what I'm offering.
