How do chargebacks work when running a marketplace?

Hi there,

 

So to my make case simple and brief. I am setting up a marketplace where buyers can purchase something from sellers. Those funds are transferred directly to the seller's own PayPal account upon purchase (we as a marketplace don't take any % nor does the money first go through our PayPal business account). This brings up the issue of a chargeback. If a buyer is technically just sending money to a seller's personal account when they purchase something, what would happen if they filed a chargeback? PayPal would normally freeze the amount in dispute, but we as a marketplace don't hold any money in our Business PayPal account and this would mean that PayPal would freeze the amount in the seller's own personal account no?

 

I could use any and all help...Thank you.
