oh my yes...very easy to trace back. just assumed that was understood. and not a good deal for the seller who has to pay a percentage (like all money changers on the net do). but for a legal buyer, it's not a bad way to go...

i buy a lot of stuff thru ebay and have an account with paypal which is constantly used...which is why i feel no real concern using it as long as the seller doesn't mind. sellers too can get around paying the percentage by using the account to buy other stuff and thus passing on the surcharge.
