Paypal has a perception issue - they are perceived as being tightly
linked with eBay.  That's a problem in the corporate arena.  If my stock
broker were to tell me they do all their financial transactions through
Paypal, I'd probably wonder if they were a legitimate corporation.

Do any of these outsourcers indemnify corporate customers against fraud
or data loss?
