Question on accepting tips

[heavenscalyx.livejournal.com]

I just stared in horror at the whole PayPal vs. Regretsy thing, and couldn't even quite wade through everything because I was so appalled. And now I am paranoid about the PayPal Donate button I post on every episode of my serial. Granted, I'm unlikely to get reviewed because I'm not getting huge quantities of money coming through, but it's kind of the principle of the thing.

What thoughts do other folks have on this?

My concern is that, when the dust settles, we WON'T be able to use it, and then, gah!, what will we DO?

Then we use another service. There are some big names trying to get into Paypal's market share, among them Google, Mastercard and Visa. And some smaller companies trying to do it from scratch. If Paypal goes down, there are alternatives eager for our business. :)
