Yeah, the credibility factor of using PayPal isn't great, but when you're selling just one or two items, I think it's understandable. Biggest problem may be that not everyone has a PayPal account, so you eliminate quite a number of potential customers.
I just looked up the Yahoo store thing. I don't know why I thought it would be cheap. It isn't. It's $50 per month, plus a per-item listing fee, plus a transaction fee, PLUS it requires you to have a merchant account anyway, with all of those associated fixed and per transaction fees.
