I would pay to outsource the risk of being a PayPal merchant. I want to be able to serve my users with the option of paying with PayPal, but PayPal for merchants is totally unreliable. Especially in the virtual good/currency industry they seem to have the tendency to lock your account for no reasons at all, and you can be without money for over 180 days.

An obvious alternative is to pay to be with another payment service provider who sucks less.

  Unfortunately thats not an option, if you don't offer paypal, it will cost you users..

    I was cheating a little, clearly a payment provider who sucks less will be just as popular with users as paypal, or they wouldn't suck less!

      "Better the devil you know... " or so the aphorism goes. We've a burger kiosk very close to and far better than McDonalds (IMO) but everyone still goes to McDonalds. Brand loyalty, advertising, etc..
