Up till recently, SFF memberships seem to be primarily cheques and cash payments at cons, but last month we finally started taking memberships through PayPal - certainly more convenient for foreign members - and they've started to come in regularly now. (We just missed the last renewal cycle, but those people we had to send reminders to have taken advantage of it.)
You don't actually need a PayPal account to pay by PayPal, as I recall. Indeed, I just experimented with the SFF page. Pressing the pay button takes you to a PayPal login screen, but there is a "Don't have a PayPal account" option which allows you to pay via credit/debit card.
I have two PayPal accounts, one for the Foundation and a personal one. Always have to make sure I use the right one. :-)
I think most of my investments pay straight into my building society account, except for my Premium Bonds, which send me those things that look like cheques, but you have to sign them yourself, which always seems strange to me.
