The misleading part is the PayPal email saying that you have seller protection when you actually don't. You may notice that eBay forces you to a classified advert if you use the CORRECT category, but a lot of crypto sellers use the mining category to sell crypto which is WRONG. You don't have a leg to stand on as you're breaking the rules by listing in the wrong category. Since classified adverts on eBay sell close to market price, it just ain't worth it. This is how I got stung: 0.8 ETH (sold as 80x 0.01 ETH units at £9.99 each). 6 different buyers (all scammers) bought multiples at £9.99 each - so paid in separate £9.99 payments. All 80x were scams and I had to refund 33x at a total of £329.67. The other 47x were all chargebacks at £9.99 refund PLUS £14 chargeback fee at a total of £1,127.53. 31x of those chargebacks were over 2 months after the sale! Total loss was over £1000 including my 0.8 ETH which can't be recovered. It was also an enormous amount of work responding to 80x individual PayPal cases. If you have any crypto on eBay right now, end the listings immediately as you WILL get stung! Just DON'T sell crypto on eBay as "Buy It Now" or auction, you have to use classifieds and NOT make a profit by flipping - it's as simple as that.
