If you need the extra safety you pay for the service of an intermediary, like PayPal or eBay or (in cryptoland) Purse.io.

If you don't need the extra safety, you don't.

Many people take extra safety for granted though. Wether it's chargeback or at least knowing who you pay to pursue further legal actions.

Let me rephrase consumer safety in crypto. Food safety regulations is kinda cool and we feel safe eating out. Now crypto food comes. It's cheaper, but seller now follows it's own understanding of food safety. Or not.
