PayPal charges substantially less than a traditional merchant account and payment gateway. Particularly in the UK. It would be interesting if the OP touched upon that. They're also easier and faster to set up than a merchant account/payment gateway.
In return for being cheaper and faster there are trade offs. As stated in the article, this person's business model is a "high risk" one in general and to PayPal in particular. This is a great example of where a merchant account with a bank really is the better option. They need to met you, understand your business and why it works the way it does. Once done, you're less likely to have ongoing issues. So, you can keep your "higher risk" business model and change from PayPal or you can change your business model to better fit with PayPal. I don't think you can have both.
PayPal is a family sedan. This guy is lamenting that his vehicle doesn't perform the way he wants it to at high speed on twisty mountain roads. Seems like an unfair car review in that sense.
As others noted - it would look very strange to PayPal if you basically pull all your funds two days after that call. Who knows what else he inadvertently did to raise suspicion.
