I'm one of those angry former customers. You can yell at PayPal all you want but you won't get that data.
Honestly, I think there needs to be some regulation here, since there's just no incentive for the large incumbents to change.
From a security perspective, it's a huge disservice to the consumer. It's a great thing to not worry about storing card details in your application. The auth.net/paypal policies incent anyone using those providers to store those details anyway to ensure portability.
