I think the issue with offering paypal on a site has more to do with the appearance of treating dogs as merchandise rather than as living, breathing creatures. It provides a disconnect between the buyer and breeder. No face to face meeting required, just a click and add the dog to the shopping cart.

Now I'm sure not all breeders use it that way, but I've seen enough who take a (non-refundable of course) deposit over paypal without so much as even talking to the potential owner to make me feel it's a red flag. My opinion is that if a good breeder wants to accept paypal, that's fine. But the option should be offered only after the breeder has determined the dog is going to a good home and not used as a marketing tool on the site.
