But you're right. If a seller wants to rip people off, they always can find a way.

Yes, Federal postal fraud IS a serious issue. But if I sell you an item, and you send me a USPS money order for $500. And I send you nothing in return, it would be nearly impossible to prove that you got nothing. I could very easily say I sent out your item in a plain white envelope, I have no idea what happened! At least with regular paypal, they will immediately side with the buyer and place all the burden of proof on the seller. This opens a whole new can of worms for scam artist buyers though!
