This topic can go on and on, but there really is something uniquely different about Ebay and Paypal. Ebay actually does have a digital goods policy and allows for digital goods to be sold as long as it follows their criteria of where you're placing the ad. There is no mention of not being able to sell Bitcoin, and if you read carefully, Ebay's policy on Digital Goods actually seems very good for Bitcoin sellers. With this being said, both of these companies will have a Bitcoin platform through Braintree within the year.
Now we get to Paypal, they do not have a Digital Goods policy, so now you are dealing with two companies using one system. The chargeback is going to go through Paypal, and when you provide Paypal with information you're gonna say... "Hey! I followed Ebay's terms and conditions, the trade was done through ebay, and my ad was posted according to how Ebay wanted it. The seller agreed to ebays terms and conditions, as well as my policies before playing the order". Paypal is simply going to say, "we do not have a policy for seller protection on digital goods". Only thing you can do from there is basically call Ebay as they are honestly going to be the ones to fight for you in this circumstance. All I know, is that by reading both Paypal and Ebay's terms and conditions, I am suprised people sell more directly through paypal than they do on ebay.
