In any case even if this gets introduced and personal sellers can avail of it, I still need a way to receive money to my PayPal account.

And obviously you can't connect it to your ebay account or they'll link them.
And why is nobody talking about this in the MS community as it seems relatively common.

There is a oldish thread in FT on our travails with PP which you can easily search for.
If you were not doing anything sketchy with PP, then I would recommend that you appeal your suspension. It will be a long and bloody process but you should prevail. OTOH, if you were, then try one of the other techniques mentioned above or just move on without PP, if possible.

Nobody here talks about it because those who have been MSing for a while know that PP behavior is the hemlock of MS funding pathways and only leads to severe morbidity and mortality when used for such.

I have always treated my PP account with kit gloves, so I have never had an issue with it. Then again, I don't use it except for the rare on-line purchase where it is an option.
I would suggest a simple Google search which is how I would approach the problem.
Good luck.

If you have to use PayPal, set up a business for your sales and get a PayPal business account under the business name. Or partner with someone with a PayPal account to receive funds in that account.

You might have gotten them had you specified you want to sell ON Ebay UK. What I posted is correct for Ebay US and Ebay Germany and Ebay Canada. You could consider selling on those platforms. (Most of my Ebay US purchases are from China sellers.)

I have a business but PayPal will link them. For the same reason I don't want to involve any trusted partner in case they have issues by association.
Again, at pains of repeating myself, I'm hoping that some of the many MSers with experience have some proven advice. If not, shame but no biggie.

I hoped the use of GBP in the OP made it clear where I would be selling, my bad.
Fact is, you're correct. Ebay UK requires sellers to have a PayPal account. You either have to get one of your own as a personal account, get one as a business account, or use the account of someone else.

Open another eBay account and another paypal account using a different email address and another bank account.
I have 3 because I used to rotate eBay gift card from Game Stop, use them to buy discounted game stop cards on ebay, back to game stop to buy ebay card with game stop card (leaving $5 on the gamestop card, which they pay out in cash) and round and round in circles. At the time, eBay limited one account to $5k per account per year. I had 3 of each accounts and was in gamestop every day doing this nonsense. Never had anything shut down.
