I was only commenting on a decentralized means to buy bitcoin, although I did not know PayPal is not supported, you can try to make a purchase on this forum with PayPal as I commented above by making use of escrow service.

There is no point in using an escrow unless both parties are unwilling to go first and after that, nothing can prevent the buyer from doing a chargeback.

Exactly but I was wondering if the below procedure can solve this problem entirely.

Seller sends BTC to the escrow

Buyer sends paypal and opens a chargeback immdiately

The seller then asks him to withdraw the dispute

The buyer does it and now cannot open a dispute again, I believe since he already lost a dispute.

Then the escrow can release coins because there is no plausible way of doing the chargeback. I have not done this myself so thinking if this works or has something I have missed.
