I've had to buy goods for work-related purposes. My accounting people want to see something that resembles an invoice. Someone who sells using PayPal can send me an invoice that itemizes the item that is for sale. You can do that other ways too, but it's just easier all around.
Perhaps I've just been lucky, but over 100s of transactions as a buyer and seller I have not had any problems using PayPal. The only thing remotely approaching a "problem" is the time a seller owed me a refund and used some kind of weird e-cheque through PayPal. It just took 7-10 days to clear. I also don't love that PayPal can take money from my account with 0 delay, but putting money back in my account takes a couple days...
