You are asking that a condition of the trade be that the escrow agent commit fraud if the seller were to cause problems down the line. In order to chargeback something via PayPal you must have purchased some physical good, and a twitter account is not a physical good, therefore they must lie to PayPal to attempt the chargeback (if it will have any chance of being successful).
Additionally, it will be very difficult for the escrow to know for sure if there are actually any problems with the twitter account down the line, so they would probably not be able to tell if it is appropriate to try to recover money from the seller.

Can You Tell Me How To Buy This Twitter Account Safely? I Really Like It And I Want To Buy It. And I Just Want To be Safe.
The best way to trade accounts is as follows (this is assuming that the identity of the account is known):
- Buyer and seller reach an agreement, and contact escrow
- Escrow confirms agreement, and gives both parties an address the buyer should send funds to
- Buyer sends funds to escrow
- Seller provides buyer credentials to access the account
- Escrow changes password, and forwards the changed credentials to the buyer
- Buyer (should) change the password so only he knows it, and confirms that it is okay to release funds in escrow to the seller
- Optionally, the trade an include an email account that is associated with the twitter account, and the process would be similar to the above
- Seller provides address for the escrow to send funds to
- Escrow sends funds to seller, minus his fee
It would be unlikely that the escrow would assume any kind of responsibility for the trade after the buyer has authorized the release of funds, although he would most likely be willing to attempt to mediate a dispute that occurs after the fact (although there is little action he can take as he would have sent the money to the seller already)
