Being new(ish) to bitcoin, I've noticed it MUCH harder to sell products online and accept bitcoin as a form of payment. Paypal sales are steady and people tend to rather use paypal than bitcoin to buy things. (in my exp anyway)

I wish bitcoin could somehow figure a (buyer/seller protection) like paypal. It's alot of work sending items to escrows/ waiting for them to get the item/ then them sending item to buyer etc.

I may be totally out there on this,lol also sorry if i don't make much sense either. Sometimes its hard to type what i'm really thinking,lol
Paypal is more widely used and known by the general public due to the ease of linking bank accounts and credit cards to paypal. Bitcoin is much harder to buy. Buyer/seller protection usually works well for physical goods for digital goods, like game credits and virtual things, it is hard for paypal to cover as the seller cannot provide proof. You can avoid escrow when you are trusted enough.
