Yeah, PayPal can be a pretty big pain. We've had our accounts locked out by them a few times. But eventually they are satisfied and leave you alone. Here's some general tips I'd follow if you do go down the PayPal route.
1) Use your full legal name when creating the account.
2) If you're creating the account for a company, make sure the owner of the account is an officer of the company (CEO, Vice President, etc).
3) Have only one account. If you're creating an account for your business, and you already have a personal account, you're gonna run into problems.
4) Make sure the mailing address you give is actually accessible. PayPal's gonna mail a verification code to you once you start making a sizable amount.
And just in general, once you start getting money into your account, PayPal's always gonna come knocking. At one point, PayPal prevented us from even receiving payments. But eventually, after a while of working with them, they got off our backs and we stopped having problems with them.
