Seems PayPal has permanently limited my account for offering NAND mods and restore services. Anybody know of any viable alternatives to PayPal, so I can continue to offer this service?

Why not use a normal bank account? Accepting international transfers is simple enough, you just need your SWIFT/IBAN. If you need an online alternative, there's Google Wallet, I suppose. That, or you can make a new PayPal account and next time book your modding fees as something else, like "repair fees" or "maintenance fees". If you don't want to go back to PayPal, I've heard good things about BrainTree, but I'm pretty sure you have to pay for integration.
Because a bank will drain all your money for little things. Inactivity, not working? Let's take for that too.
I saw that PayPal is master race, just get that debt card it's a better solution. Plus is you have a smartphone the Google wallet is epic.

Make a new Paypal account and the payments would be via gift service for a "Toy #198310" so it doesn't look suspicious.
And I guess another credit card too.

Look for a better bank then. I pay exactly 0 GBP for an account, around here banks realize that by giving them money we're doing them a favour.
Technically Paypal takes a pound but then returns as a confirmation to get that code.
There Is a difference between banking in Europe and the US. US mostly impose fees on everything, while Europe (as shown above) mostly don't. Thankfully they don't in my country either (we follow the European system)
Also, SWIFT is one more thing that's common in Europe and my region, but apparently unknown in the US. It's not something they use. I am not sure if they use IBAN or not
@hundshamer
Why would they limit your account for that? Basically all you are doing to their knowledge is repairs. Why would that not be allowed? It's not like there is a clear violation of selling flashcarts or something.
Also, something I have always wondered, what happens to the money that is still in the account? Surely they can't "keep it"? That's basically them stealing your money!
As for an alternative.. Uh, maybe google wallet?

Now I have not and do not offer Mod chips or roms. They didn't even give me the chance to dispute it.

Nvm didnt see that bit yup you got boned I wonder who mentioned gbatemp or what your payments are for. Clearly somebody left info in your notes about the service or someone reported you.
Seems like you got reported.
Probably repairing old game consoles will fall under this also. Reminds me of a law in the making that would make modding electronics illegal, regardless of age.

It had to be someone from the temp maybe a competitor because the letter does not mention "that site that shall not be named"
Skrill seems like a decent alternative to PayPal.
I've used them a bit in the past.
