The Paypal version looked promising, but my understanding is you have to be a business. Maybe just plain old Paypal, using a smartphone is an option for me, but I still worry about being scammed.

Officially for $10 you can be a business, go get a DBA from the county clerk. That said with paypal the main motivation for requiring that is to force you to charged transactions so you aren't doing the free friends and family transfers there are many other reasons they will try to get you to elevate your account anyway. It doesn't hurt to try and see if they will let you set up an account even without a DBA. If you have enough transactions to justify swiping credit cards you definitely are a business.
