All this Paypal "we had to use it for business reasons" stuff reminds me of a family friend who was a Mcdonald's franchisee and got screwed over by Mcdonald's corporate and vowed to never eat at Mcdonald's again after being able to exit the business. Sure enough, 3 months later, there he was going to Mcdonald's. Excuse? "Well it was the only decent place to stop at this exit."
If you chose to use Paypal for business reasons, then you should own up to having possibly made a bad business decision. There are alternatives: Amazon Payments, Google Checkout, WePay, and 3rd party payment processors.
That's fair enough, I'm not an Ebay customer (I manage quite well via the Amazon marketplace and places like extremedeals). I wonder if locking people into their system causes Ebay any decreased revenue. That would be hard to test for though if there are no other payment methods.
