I think the crucial thing about PayPal is that they have a special relationship with seller websites, in the same way that credit card companies work with shops. If a seller misbehaves and credit card Co or PayPal withdraws its services, they lose most of their customers.

PayPal will not have a transaction-honouring scheme of this sort with a private seller, such as a person or 'shop', on Facebook.

Anyone can create an almost untraceable email account that is not in their real name, then use that to open an Account as a person or retailer on Facebook. How much do you trust that?
