How come Amazon.com doesn't accept PayPal as a method of payment anymore? Please help :D?

I just set up the account and everything. I have a lot of movies and books I've wanted to order online for awhile now and, so yeah. I ordered a book; pre-ordered actually. I took all the steps. PayPal did not show up as a payment method and my dad said that it used to. What's going on? If I just enter my debit card number will Amazon ensure that it is safe?

Is it because Ebay owns PayPal and Amazon and Ebay are competitors?
Is it because the PayPal Plug-in expired last September?

I probably sound retarded and all, I'm just desperate as I've spent an hour and a half ordering a book when it should've taken 3 minutes. Lawl D:

I believe it is because Ebay owns Paypal and it is a competitor of Amazon.

because some people were illegally selling Lady GaGa and other tickets through paypal and they might have shut it down or is working out a way to protect it better
