Sellers should be stopped from asking for this form of payment ! As a buyer I'm willing to pay the additional PP fees but I want protection if the deal goes south as in any normal commercial transaction. Many new and old members are totally unaware of the hazards of this type of payment and Repgeek needs to do something about this.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions and this post is a perfect example of that. I say this as somebody who is more often a buyer than a seller but PP F&F is the only protection a seller can really have in this game and they often need it more than a buyer from what I have seen. It's quite a bit easier to vet a seller than a buyer and paypal will always side with the buyer in this game.

Vet people, don't buy from some newb with a too good to be true offer and you should be protected decently.
