Well, Paypal made some things right: you wire money by e-mail address. Some people did not like the thought of sharing banking details with "everybody".
The second thing was the strong buyer protection: if the item does not show up or is damaged or anything I instantly get my money back. Shifting the burden of proof to the shop owner sucks for the shop owner a lot, but as a customer this is a huge bonus.
Finally, other people said it in the thread already: using e.g. my banks online banking in the browser on mobile is a shitty experience, fumbling around a lot. Paypal feels like half a click in comparison. The need to install an app for Wero already kills it instantly for me.
