I guess that does seem a little odd that they'd set the bar so high
for requirements to use their service.
I've been using PaySimple[1] for about a year now and have recommended
several people to them. I've found their customer service and
developer support to be very responsive. Give them a look over if
BrainTree doesn't work out.
If you do decide to give PaySimple a try I've also written a plugin[2]
to use their API. I believe there might also be ActiveMerchant support
as well but haven't looked at that at all.
