I have seen Danny post before that he does like want to deal with paypal. The risk of one party successfully scamming is too high for him to want to get involved.
I have seen tomatocage agree to escrow a trade with a paypal scammer (of course the scammer never put any bitcoin into escrow), I would ask him
Just to be clear, that was mostly me just calling the scammers bluff. I can escrow for PayPal deals, but only for those where the PayPal sender is already a highly trusted member. Even still escrow for these types of trades only protects against one type of scam and does not guarantee a chargeback later on down the road.
