He only froze my money because he loves me, he won't do it again, I promise!

From my experience in the UK it's the only option for accepting payment that doesn't have the serious admin and financial outlay of getting set up with a proper merchant account. Perhaps in this case going with EventBrite from the beginning would have made more sense but that's only an easy call to make in hindsight.
Edit: You seem to have changed your comment. Consider this a reply to the underlying message of your sarcasm.
How serious is the admin and financial outlay? I want to say that it would be worth it to avoid the risk of Paypal freezing your funds (or worse), but that's a hard call to make without knowing exactly what the costs would be.
(I tried and failed to set up a merchant account and instead had to settle for PayPal as the only other option)
