I should add, right now I've a cron job that runs once a night and which pays everyone who is owed money from my PayPal account. I have long worried this might look suspicious to PayPal. But the payments are usually small. On a normal night, at 3 AM EST, my PayPal account makes payments that might look like this:
$34
$17
$14
$9
$7
$7
$5
$4
$4
$3

That is a normal night. I use the PayPal MassPay API. On any given day my website gets something like $70 and pays out something like $50.
I assume I'm using the MassPay API the way PayPal wants, so I have not yet gotten in trouble. But the whole thing makes me nervous, so I plan to spend all of January switching my websites over to different payment processors.
However, I have not yet found an easier way to send money than the PayPal MassPay API. I worry I may have to stick with PayPal for awhile, as a way to send automated payments.
