I do not know which is the older venue.  I thought eBay was older.  If 
eBay is really interested in integrating PayPal into the site then 
require immediate payment at the end of the auction, no exceptions. 
Then there is no point in FB for buyers, or sellers.  Let the official 
dispute process police the bad sellers off of the site.  All shipping 
cost to be stated in every auction.  For the $$$ that eBay will be 
charging they can afford it.

I have bought mostly books and ink for my inkjet printer, and I have never had problems buying from sellers in the 90% range.  This seems to work well, perhaps that is where eBay got the idea.  I think if they had used that idea from the beginning it would have worked much better.
