Yes, also there is no seller protection on paypal for virtual items anyway, you can sell them but at your own risk.

No, as chargebacks are done directly by a buyer via their credit card company and that company make the decision not paypal.

I beleive the solution is to offer the physical item aswell.

 

ie, codes if you are selling them

 

Post them tracked mail and you have a record of the item been sent.

 

Keeps you good with Ebay too after a discussion with their listing dept I had.
