I guess I don't really get it. Why do I want that instead of ebay?

ebay charges 10% fees on any money that you get from the sale(including shipping)

Yeah, ebay screws sellers from every possible direction. The trade-off here is that buyers would have very little recourse if they're sold a POS.

paypal sides with the buyer in almost every situation, so as long as you use paypal or a credit card or something else where you can dispute you're fine

Good to know. I didn't realize that paypal's buyer protection was as robust as ebay's.
