And, just like money is a layer built on top of cash, I assume that one could build a third-party escrow service on top of GNU Taler which has this “buyer protection” feature, with the added bonus of not one actor having a monopoly on it – whereas if Paypal stops liking you, you are out of luck.

There are other alternatives to Paypal as well. This feature should be built into the currency instead of just forcing everyone to reinvent the wheel for zero benefit.
