Other forms of payment, other than Paypal

So I got an email today saying Paypal is going to start holding my payments for 21 days. 
These are the reasons why they could've decided to hold my payments

  • You have a limited history of selling activity on eBay or elsewhere
  • You are new to selling on eBay or elsewhere
  • You have been a PayPal seller for less than 6 months
  • If selling on eBay, you have an eBay feedback score less than 100 and haven't yet established a good record as a seller
  • You have received less than 20 Detailed Seller Ratings on eBay in the last 12 months or your eBay seller performance is below standard
  • You have a high rate of customer disputes or a low eBay feedback percentage
  • You have a sudden change in selling activities (e.g. you're suddenly selling expensive items, selling large numbers of items, etc.)
  • You happen to be selling in a high risk category such as tickets, travel, gift vouchers, consumer electronics, smart phones, etc.

The thing is though, I don't fall under ANY of these categories! I've closed my seller account on ebay, I'm not new to selling, there is no sudden change in selling activities and no high risk category. I'm going to give them an angry phone call because this really makes my life a hassel, but until that is sorted out, are there any other safe methods of receiving money when selling things on the comm_sales?
