We quit using paypal 8 years ago for exactly this kind of treatment. Seems it has not changed.

Why would it? Obviously there are plenty of fools, who continue to do business with PayPal.

I sell on eBay, and if you don't accept PayPal very few people will buy from you.

I found as long as you could take a card, most people were good. Only some ebay addicts were tied to paypal. Ymmv.
