Most do not have their own SSL because nothing is being entered on the non secure page, they are directed over the payment provider's website, which is secure.
So, your friend is technically right, but like you said, if he plans to use his own merchant account at some point, he will need an SSL. At this point there is nothing to secure. The add to cart and order now links will all take the customer to PayPal where they will login securely.

Even the express paypal checkout methods still transmit personal information... maybe not cc#s... address alone, hell name transfer alone would cause for warranting ssl. And with how cheap ssl is... it shouldn't even be debate, if you run a website that includes any user forms whatsoever... just get it.
