This just in from PayPal after a number of e-mails back and forth:

As it stands, my [briefly] working PayPal account has now been shut down by
mutual agreement 8-(
UK users can obviously get around point 1 with a .com e-mail address. For
point 2, you could use the address of a friend or family member, but I would
be concerned about how the US authorities would view such an action.
Point 3 however is pretty interesting though... With a bit of luck, we'll
have PayPal available to us soon anyway, which of course means that we'll be
able to accept US Dollar payments with (hopefully) zero or minimal
charges!!!

Just Imagine .oO
