I know of many buyers who don't want to get involved with paypal, whether it be allowing Paypal to have access to their financial accounts, not being in control of Paypal's actions, or just having to deal with one more different thing not as straight forward as sending a money order. Just like some sellers have a bad experience with Paypal where they get taken for hundreds, buyers can have a host of problems that are out of their control.
I agree that there is a certain level of protection typically offered with using your credit card through Paypal over a check or money order in the case of a dispute. However, educated buyers like SNDMN59 notice that you can typically weed out most of the bad apples just by looking at feedback, an also by getting a feel for them through their email communication.
By the way, when using Paypal, I recommend always using a CC over a bank account so you have them to back you up. Don't trust that Paypal will take care of you. They are neither on the buyer or seller's side...they are on Paypal's side. Paypal is one of the greediest, most unethical companies I have ever dealt with. And I haven't even been burnt, so I am not speaking out of bitterness. I just see all of their subtle decisions made for one sole purpose: getting as much money as they possibly can.
