Ethernet Frame and IPv4 Confusion

I've been writing a program with raw sockets and finally got around to writing all the Ethernet Frame. IPv4 allows for just over 65000 bytes of payload yet Ethernet Frames only allow for about 1500. I've looked into jumbo frames, but they only allow 9000bytes and aren't even supported by all machines. How do I get around this issue?
