You describe it as a refund, so does that mean PayPal is charging back the seller? Outside of taking the money back from the seller and refunding the customer are they providing any other benefit? I assume they are taking the risk they can't collect from the seller.

I guess what I am asking is in the case of Brian and Kevin, would PayPal G&S function as an insurer? Or would they just act as the Net54 chorus and make Brian refund Kevin?

To ask this another way: right now Brian is out the money and the 4 cards, and Kevin is whole. If Kevin had used G&S would anything change, other than one of the two would be out another 3%?
