Yeah, especially people who want to send Paypal (which we all know is damn easy to chargeback or dispute) and get irreversible Paxums funds in exchange.

Another scam type is to have a third part exchange, say you sell a link to person A. He (A) wants to pay with Paypal, but since we do not plan on keeping the site (or his link) for very long, we need to have a "cushion", a fall guy. So we find person B on a forum and ask for am exchange.

So Person A buys our link
but he pays in to person B's Paypal account
and person B pays us (C) via irreversible Paxum funds.

Now we are free to remove the link or not go through with domain push or whatever was agreed on, because person A can do whatever he wants, if he disputes via Paypal and wins it will only affect B, who in turn have no way of getting back at us (C).
