Point taken. But Paypal shouldn't be even compared to DPS IMO. After integrating it several times I have to say that it's the poor man's solution for a reason. I never reccommend it to clients unless their budget is super tight. And even then, I take great effort in warning them of lengthy setups, delayed payments and the most robotic and pointless customer support known to man.
The other glaring advantage that DPS will not lose in all this, aside from the brand recognition and trust thanks to Trademe and other big boys, is that it's NZ based.
