As a user who uses paypal a lot, this is exactly why - I don't trust random websites with my credit card number, but I already have decided to trust paypal and given an option to use paypal vs a site's own CC processing, I'll use paypal.
I'd love to be wrong though, since after reading all this I kind of feel bad for the merchants, but otherwise I'll continue to prefer using paypal.
