Yahoo copied everything: the reasons to use their service, the free processing until the end of the year, the icons etc.
Here's their differentiation:
<< How does PayPal Express Checkout compare to Google Checkout?
Unlike Google Checkout, where buyers complete their transaction on Google’s web site and return to Google’s site to track orders they place with merchants, PayPal Express Checkout returns buyers to your site to complete their transaction, enabling you to maintain a direct relationship with your customers. This means that with PayPal Express Checkout you have the opportunity to up-sell buyers on other products after the transaction, and you have more opportunities to market to customers after their initial purchase to drive repeat purchases and loyalty.
Also, PayPal has 133 million accounts. You can tap into this user base when you place PayPal on your checkout page as a way to pay. PayPal has been shown to increase sales by an average of 14% for merchants who offer PayPal.
