Phewww, the only reason I use PayPal is that I can pay using my credit card and have the security of having my credit card company deal with unreliable sellers.
Note though that wise-guys have added their own exclusions:
E.g. surplus-supply-com which includes in their auctions the following disclaimer:
If you opt to use PayPal to pay for your auction purchase, you agree to the following conditions. All items sold by SURPLUS-SUPPLY-COM "the seller¿ and purchased by you "the buyer" are subject to the following terms. This contract agreement supercedes any and all agreements that you may have previously made with PayPal. WE, OUR PARENT, SUBSIDIARIES, EMPLOYEES AND OUR SUPPLIERS PROVIDE OUR PRODUCTS "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY OR CONDITION, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY. WE, OUR PARENT, SUBSIDIARIES, EMPLOYEES AND OUR SUPPLIERS SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. Under no circumstances may the buyer without prior consent from SURPLUS-SUPPLY-COM seek reversal of any payments made to SURPLUS-SUPPLY-COM by the PayPal payment service. This Agreement is governed by and interpreted under the laws of the state of Texas, U.S. If for any reason you are not in agreement with this contract, please do not use PayPal for your purchase. Recent changes in the PayPal user agreement have made this necessary.
So its buyer beware as usual, although I wish them luck trying to enforce this with a credit card company
