PAD is between you and Paypal. The seller is unaware you are using it as they are still credited the funds in advance. No seller would post an item before being paid.
Funds leave your account at 14 days in which time your item 'may and normally has' arrived however you don't actually have anymore 'buyer protection' than any other buyer.
Its basically a 14 days interest free loan provided by Paypal. BUT its not offered on every transaction and you can only use it when it is, I guess thats down to paypals cash flow status at the time of your transaction maybe?

Kudos / Solution appreciated.

just got this from paypal.... seesm they dont want to offer due to COVID 19

 

This is in a way a 14 days a credit PayPal offers. This feature is not a given, and at this point is not available due to factors like either you have reached a number of transactions using it or there are risks at the time with allowing these transactions as we pay the sellers upfront and in these uncertain times the system might stop giving this option.

seems that way

paypal seems to be saying that ... 

Bit unclear why it has worked for me for nearly every purchase for the last 2 years in and out of ebay with other online sellers.

and now no longer able to use even with sellers that I have never had an issue with..

It seems to be PAYPALs way of dealing with covid 19.

Same here...I thought it was because my previous bank card had expired and my new card details were applied,  I find it so disappointing not to be offered this as it comes in handy.
