Absolutely.
Initially I was a bit peeved when Ebay insisted on everybody offering Paypal as an option (Ebay owed Paypal) but over time I have used it more and more purely for its convenience and safety. Now I wouldn't be without my Paypal account
As for not having a mobile phone - it is madness not to do so. They are far cheaper than a landline and far more convenient.
No need to carry anything else but a mobile phone these days, it's your credit/debit card, driving licence, shopping list, map, telephone directory and your communication gateway to the world (literally).
Even better when you do not want to be disturbed you can turn them off or put them on silent. Sure you can lose them but you can lose your wallet and your wallet doesn't have a security system. What's not to like?
