Paypal insecure?

I read this on another forum when a seller refused to use Paypal:

"
I have heard such a horror stories from internet. Paypal doesn't offer any protection for sellers. Buyer can even send an empty letter back to seller to get a refund from Paypal. Just say that you want to send the item back you have purchased and provide a tracking number to get a refund."

I wonder if this is true??

I paid the seller via bank transfer and got the item as described.

Indeed, PayPal is for Sellers very dangerous when the buyer wants to betray you.
I had a conversation with a PayPal lawyer who said to go a different route for everything above 2000 $.
When you want to sell via PayPal I recommend to write a contract WITH Passport copy from the buyer. When the buyer does not do it, then you know what is going on. Always send a invoice through the official server and wait for acceptance from buyer. Make pics from item, from box, from address etc. Finally, never send to a different buyer address than the one which is saved at PayPal server ("I am not at home, send it to my divorced wife/ friend/Uncle blah, blah...")
