I think the simple explanation was, you transfer money from your credit card to paypal, then from paypal to the seller, if you would transfer the credit card money over to the seller directly then you would have protection. Since the credit card has not dealt with the seller directly then they cannot go after him/her for their money back. |
My personal experience runs contrary to yours. Perhaps it's differences in the policies of various credit card issuers. I can only state that I've never been burned when using a credit card and it certainly gave me much more leverage when dealing with PayPal. If you use a PayPal balance or allow PayPal to do a deduction from your bank account then you have zero leverage with PayPal.
