I've never signed up for PayPal (did try once, had a horrible time; my
colleague also supposedly set one up for our company, couldn't make it work;
admittedly this was from the UK, and a couple of years ago, and I think there
were known issues about being outside the US which may have been sorted since
then).
But I do get a ton of PayPal phishing spam (7-10/day that gets past my spam
filters) and find it very convenient to know without looking that any message
about my PayPal account is spam. I think that's a positive reason to avoid
setting up a PayPal account.
I do on occasion when I have no other choice use the facility to use a regular
credit card to pay by paypal; but when it's a discretionary purchase,
requirement for paypal is frequently a reason for my to choose not to buy.
