Escrow is a no go...

Yesterday I signed up at Escrow.com. Originally I kept the default option of a three day inspection period. Then I received an email that the seller only allows a one day inspection period. So I accepted the new terms, and submitted payment via PayPal. Today I received this email from Escrow.com:

- Your payment has not been processed for the following reason: Escrow.com is unable to accept premier payment options for the purchase of the merchandise listed in this transaction. Transactions are reviewed based on the business risks related to sale of that merchandise. Some of the items that we specifically review and excluded from the premier payment options are: website data/content, services, computer software, GPS devices and cellular phones, items that are time sensitive (i.e. event or airline tickets), designer products, watches and jewelry, currency, clothing, transactions where we cannot determine what merchandise is being sold, and items that we cannot confirm delivery. Due to the nature of these items, we may require check, money order or wire transfer as a form of payment. Escrow.com does reserve the right to review additional risks not listed above. This information is also available at https://www.escrow.com/support/faqs/faq-questions/can-i-use-my-credit-card-or-paypal-as-payment-for-a-transaction.aspx?prevTopic=Payment

To resubmit your payment, please sign in to your account at Escrow.com.

PayPal also sent an email advising me about the refund, so I haven't lost any money.

Several customers are reporting the same problem with Escrow+Paypal with Escrow+Wire and others is ok so looks they try to avoid Paypal transactions at least in some cases, the main problem is PayPal I guess.
