The Yahoo! Publisher Network announced today that publishers in their network will have the option to be paid via PayPal, rather than by check or by electronic funds transfer. Publishers who opt in will receive a reduced payment threshold as well, from $100 to just $50.

Very few programs of this nature or status pay their affiliates/publishers through PayPal. In my opinion it shows Yahoo!'s committment to expanding their network into the international market as many of the prospective publishers will not have US-based bank accounts.
