I'm pretty sure it is, actually. If the purchase qualifies for buyer protection,
the buyer is protected (regardless of whether Paypal can successfully recover
the funds or not). They changed their terms while back.

sellers have their funds held at PP for a number of days until buyers confirm
receipt. And maybe it needs to be receipt by buyers who have a minimum of X
feedback or Y years of membership, so it's not sham buyers validating delivery.
Question is whether the burden dissuades more legit new sellers than it thwarts
shams. Considering the surplus of sellers here, I'd think it worth a try.

Having an escrow-type way to hold funds was part of the plan that was rolled
out at the summit in Chicago a year and a half ago. When BL discussed it on the
forum, a lot of people on the forum complained very loudly that it was a terrible
idea, and we haven't heard a lot about it since then. It's too bad, because
I thought (and still think) that it's a fantastic idea. (A side benefit of
it is that BL could LOWER our Paypal fees, as well.)
