Maybe because people who have bad experiences tend to want to publish them more than people who have good experiences. I sold a damaged iPhone 4 (listed as such) on eBay+Paypal earlier this year. I got paid, the buyer was happy, and I did not write a blog post about it.
Im with you, i sold a number of things without problems, but I did it assuming that if I follow the rules of Paypals Seller Protection, i would be covered.
This is not the case here. I now know that Seller Protection means nothing to the fraudster in the know
