Yes, it's a shame that Mr Marcus didn't discuss how he bought his Bitcoins.

Did he have to play the two-step bank account shuffle like the rest of us?

I think this comes from the fact that Bitcoin transactions cant be refunded, but PayPal ones can be. So buyer could cancel the purchase and keep bitcoin with merchant being unable to do anything.
