You seem to be glossing over the main issue here - which is consumer
protection. Too many people are being ripped off by rogue sellers, and
the PayPal restriction is actually so that sellers are better monitored
and refunds can be given to buyers more easily if there's a problem
later on.

But it doesn't work. Last year I bought an item and paid by PayPal.
Seller never sent it. Paypal closed the seller's account and said
"there's nothing in his account so we can't do anything". I got the
money back by tracing the seller's father and writing to him. Paypal are
still saying they can't get the money.
