PayPal is not offered everywhere in the world for payments. Not to mention how notorious PayPal is in reversals.

Braintree would presumably be processing payments for them - as long as it is a Visa/Mastercard/American Express card. Makes more sense for AirBnB to use a payment processor like Braintree as opposed to PayPal.

Besides, Braintree is like totally cool company to deal with.
