Yes, Paypal is bad, chargebacks, reversible transactions, all of that you already know.
What most people don't know, is the other side of the story. Paypal isn't just bad because the sender can charge back, it's bad because Paypal itself is a centralised biased company.
I'm trying to buy some btc using paypal and had to turn down 3 people because they wouldnt use an escrow.
When you send paypal balance to someone, and they decide to scam you, you're as handtied as anyone in trying to get your money back. "Oh you can just chargeback", no. You can't just chargeback, the receiver can instantly withdraw the money to his card, to his bank, and you're stuck spending more than two weeks dragging a case through paypal support because the receiver took your balance and your coins. This is from experience, I ONLY got the money back because the other person was a serial scammer pulling a massive exit, and his word was worth less than mine from so many chargebacks on his account (which I'm sure was disabled with negative balance), while Paypal took my side because I never raised a support case before.
So yes, for everyone selling btc, theres a long risk of chargeback for up to 2 months, which is understandable, but that doesnt mean you can leverage that risk to claim priority. Trust comes first, both ways. Stay safe.
