> I buy a ton more stuff on Ebay based on the buyer protection
I find this to be the case as well. I no longer spend time attempting to research whether or not a seller is legit (at least on smaller ticket items), or pause when someone has little or no feedback - ebay/PayPal for the most part assumes the risk for me. If the seller doesn't deliver or attempts to defraud ebay/PayPal refunds my money (and I presume chases the seller). I bid more and if others are like me and the OP then I presume that this translates into better sale prices for the sellers (and bigger commissions for ebay).
