Well. I hate to be like this -but- you are now my friend. You go competitor! You go!
Okay. Now for the "ness" which makes this post not spam.
"they are pretty inflexible and unaccomodating with customer service"
Yes. That is a problem. Another problem is that they freeze accounts almost to the point of "seemingly randomly". In my opinion. It's not uncommon either. It's not rare enough to be forgiven as a mistake. Paypal has problems with (I guess?) flagging "spam". If the problem is viewed as originating because of the ease of access (easy to sign up), then Paypal should make it harder to sign up.
However, if you build a fence, you must consider the consequences for when it falls down. Anyone who has personally been affected by Paypal is also at fault for not considering it might happen and planning ahead. That statement is my opinion and I stand by it. There is a reason why I don't have a Paypal account with ten thousand dollars in it. The reason is that I will need those ten thousand dollars and I expect Paypal to take it away from me. My paranoia, however, is founded from experience.
