Ok, maybe I'm wrong about that then. I thought ebay and paypal heavily favoured the buyer. I've easily won disputes over small stuff as a buyer, and the only dispute I ever had as a seller was major (my old 944, documented here on pelican if you feel like searching for it) where I was clearly in the right, but still had to provide tons of documentation.

I've never bought a car in a week, except at work through an auction. I suppose if you see the car the day it's listed and arrange for a PPI immediately I can see it happening, but 7 days is a really short time frame to properly check out a car to the point where I'm good sending 5 figures to a stranger untold miles away. I've never done it that quickly, as a buyer or seller.
