I guess one of the major concerns is how to manage chargebacks on Paypal.  Could they just have a clause for Bitcoin transactions that they are final and let the risk rest on the seller and buyer somehow?  Once the payment is received then if the bitcoins are sent and verified there should be no recourse?  I am sure it is more complicated then that but I would think that there should be a way to do it somehow.
