I wonder how Visa and MC are going to take this since Paypal is essentially moving business away from them. I'm not sure if I will go for this option since the CC provides more protection than Paypal.

I get 1% back using my amex, and last year i got over $500 back (granted i bought more than baseball cards). If paypal offered 2% back, plus offered the same guarantee that my cc does, i would consider having it come directly out of my checking instead of using AMEX.
I just thought of something else....what this really means is that they may say initially they are giving cash back for non-use of cc, but what it really means is that, shortly there afterward they will probably raise their fees to the amount of the cash back incentive, so in essence what they are doing is charging more for the use of credit cards....
This is so you don't have credit card chargebacks to protect you. Paypal can care even less about your problem and not worry about your credit card company taking your funds back from them. Paypal might be worse than WalMart and I am surprised that there has not been an MSNBC special about it.
Sounds like a deal to me. You get ripped off $1000 from a scammer. Paypal investigates and asks the scammer for your money back. Your money can't be recovered and since you didn't use a credit card to fund the purchase you'll stay ripped off for $1000 unless Paypal pays you back with their own money. The good news is that you just earned 2% cash back from your failed purchase.
"This is so you don't have credit card chargebacks to protect you."

Correct.
Just another element of the largest RICO scam in the history of the internet.

On a related note, in France, today, a court noted PayPal as a contributor to the counterfeit operations that EBAY has been running for 10-years. EBAY claimed they were "unsophisticated and negligent;" the court said "EBAY is a counterfeiter, under French law." EBAY was fined thousand of dollars in each of three "fake handbag" cases.
In post-sale consumer complaints, PP is the final arbiter as to "what is genuine."
The precedent is FINALLY in place.

Right now every time I make a purchase, they make my checking account the default, so I need to do a bunch of extra clicks to change it to credit card, then get a message recommending me not use credit card,etc
It takes 3X longer because all that extra time needed.
for small purchases like 20 dollars or less, I just pay it, but for anything higher I go to all the extra clicking to be protected by the credit card.

i go with the credit card, if i didn't the one time i got burned by a seller i would have lost $400, since paypal was only going to refund .09 cents. the cc returned the funds and i was happy, one of the few times i have been happy with CC. i will continue with CC.

Well yeah, they can hold your money and draw interest and not pay their CC fees. I recently paid more attention to a non CC paypal transaction and my money was gone from my account the same day of the transaction but paypal didn't release it until 5 days. It has never been 3 days.
