You're right of course, but the flip side is also true. I imagine a seller would have to be insane to leave themselves open to the risk of a chargeback. I was scammed that way on a completely legit Ebay/Paypal transaction and Paypal basically told me to go screw. I can only imagine what would happen if it was a questionably legal transaction. If I sold on there I'd insist on it as well, saving the 3% or whatever in fees would just be icing on the cake.
now that I am thinking about it more my opinion is probably pretty irrelevant considering i'm not likely to ever buy beer second hand for that much money. but even when I bought second-hand electronic-cigarette crap, I paid the 3% fee but insisted on "goods and services" because in the end, if you are receiving money for a product, you should be held accountable if it doesn't show up or shows up damaged. that's just the risk you take selling precious things online.
