I would venture to guess that you don't want to do that though. Because A) you want the added speed of Paypal and 2) you want the added protection from paypal.
TWO services you receive, that you are in essence asking the seller to pay for.

if that was directed at me you are a little off. i do not accept paypal as payment for anything. usps money order or check (held) yes, but no paypal. i prefer to pay with a mo/check but a lot of sellers will not allow it.
you have it backwards on the services too. the seller is receiving the service from paypal, not the buyer. there is no benefit to using paypal as a buyer however the seller now has something of a guarantee that the funds will be there and the immediate availability to use those funds for another transaction vs waiting for a check to arrive, depositing it and waiting for it to clear. it is possible for the buyer to stop payment on a check, it is not possible to do so with a paypal payment.
paypal protection, for anything outside of an ebay purchase, is virtually nonexistent. for non-ebay transactions so long as the seller provides a tracking number paypal will decide in their favor. period. i bought some home audio equipment a few years back and when the package arrived i found three 2 liter bottles filled with water. paypal denied my claim of "significantly not as described" within a few hours because the seller provided them the tracking that showed a package being delivered to my door.
