I don't think that offers the same level of protection. IIRC a Visa Cheque counts as a cash advance, and is no more secure than a regular cheque.
One of the reasons Visa et al offer extra protection is their merchants are bound by certain rules.
I have to agree- no Paypal on a large amount sounds fishy. And most of the "ripped off by Paypal" stories I've heard are more accurately "I didn't understand how Paypal worked, and took financial advice from a stranger who wanted me to send him money."
