Ebay is the sole reason I still use paypal as a consumer. It seems very hard or impossible to buy things on ebay without having a paypal account.

That's fair enough, I'm not an Ebay customer (I manage quite well via the Amazon marketplace and places like extremedeals). I wonder if locking people into their system causes Ebay any decreased revenue. That would be hard to test for though if there are no other payment methods.
If you chose to use Paypal for business reasons, then you should own up to having possibly made a bad business decision. There are alternatives: Amazon Payments, Google Checkout, WePay, and 3rd party payment processors.
