re: PayPal vs. Merchant Account |

I don't have any test results, but I can say that the general design will cause people to abandon the site. Basically due to the reasons you stated.
I have setup a few PayPal stores for clients with low budgets. This is probably the only case where it makes sense.
If you can afford a low monthly fee I recommend Yahoo Stores.

The reason I'm asking is because PayPal can be a great resource for web site owners but they can seem cumbersome to the web users since they take the payment process outside of your page. Also, if a user does not already have a PayPal account, they would have to register twice, (once on your site, a second time to setup a PayPal account).
