If there is a charge-back, PayPal will expect you to cover it. If you don't they freeze/close your account same as if it were fiat. Not sure what you think would be different.
We're talking about BTC. There's no chargebacks. Let's get some terminology straight here. Chargeback do not equal PayPal disputes. They are different things. Chargebacks are taken care of with credit card while PayPal disputes involve only PayPal.
Nothing chages for PayPal or Buyer or Seller as far as BTC integration goes.
Buyer buys something for BTC, BTC goes to PayPal who than transfers it to $ and holds just like they hold fiat. When all requirements are met, they send $ to seller (or mybe there would be option to convert $ to BTC and send BTC to seller if he wishes).
If chargeback happens (in period while PayPal holds BTC/fiat), PayPal just returns BTC/fiat equivalent to buyer.
Only thing that changes is that, PayPal is now in control of chargeback decision. Now, credit card houses are one that decide will there be chargeback or not in most cases, not PayPal, with BTC PayPal could actualy start protecting Seller too.
There is no chargeback. Like I said, that involves credit cards only. You can only open a PayPal dispute. It's pretty much seller protection. So I'd require the buyer to pay with BTC and not accept their credit card if I deem them untrustworthy. That was my entire point in the original post.
Back then I had perfected a way to require buyers to use PayPal funds to pay rather then credit card which gave me almost the same protection as BTC. I knew the system inside out and wrote the PayPal Virtual FAQ on this hence my name.

The credit card chargeback protection has always been the front lines of consumer protection from seller fraud on PayPal. Buyer wins 99% of the time.
Most likely there's no way to tell how the buyer is paying. However if there was a way to require BTC payment, that would be a game changer for sure. Because PayPal's policy is not to interfere with intangible goods. Buyer is basically out of luck. Scamming will go the other way as sellers receiving PayPal payments will be secure from chargebacks.
Then there's the issue about withdrawls in BTC and having your PayPal account hacked.
Who will receive BTC payments? PayPal or the seller? It will be interesting to see how this will work at the end. Either way there's probably going to be scamming as usual.
Well thats pretty interesting I had to sign a notary form saying I wouldn't sell BTC for paypal or face permanent account closure haha.
When and why did you have to do this? I am interested...
That was awhile go when BTC was a more sticky subject and PayPal had strict "anti-currency" restrictions. They felt it was a threat to them so anyone buying or selling BTC with PayPal had account closed or what happened to Maidak.
