Your solution here is obvious. Several times per week it seems there's a thread here lamenting paypals policy's. My advice to you would be to start a competitor to paypal. (yes they're owned by eBay, but remember that there's potential antitrust issues if they harass you too much or refuse to allow you to integrate your payments widget into the listings.) You certainly aren't alone in your struggle, and were I in your position, that's what I'd do. Just my $0.02.

Aren't there already many competitors to Paypal? They're not as well-known, but I don't think starting another web payment service is a very good business plan. For example, I know Netteller has been struggling pretty much.

I agree that Paypal needs a bigger competitor though. They're really making a mess of it.
