I'm not trying to create an illusion of safety, especially for the guy accepting PayPal. Any one who's is ought to know the risks, and won't fail to remind them of the risks. But I do think I can prevent a situation like this from happening.

That person would still be just a chargeback (or a doctored PDF) away from being fucked.

Here's the flipside:

A seasoned scammer (SS) posts: "I buy BTC and I pay with PayPal."
An apprehensive newbie (AN) says: "PayPal is reversible! Unsafe!"
SS: "But look, DireWolf provides escrow for it and he has an M14 so you know it's super safe."
AN: "Ah ok, I've heard that escrow makes everything safe, let's do it."

I think this may facilitate transactions that wouldn't otherwise happen, or larger/riskier transactions than prudent. PayPal scammers will start using you as a prop in their schemes even if they don't actually use your services.

take on that roll

ahem...

Edit: BTW the seller can scam too. Let's say they receive PayPal funds but claim they didn't. What would you do then?

Great, convincing arguments.
