Is this an advantage over paypal where I am insured as a buyer?

  Try buying something using your Canadian PayPal account on an American IP address with a shipping address in Vietnam. I did, my account got insta-blocked and I could not complete my transaction. I would have been perfectly happy to risk losing my money instead of having a 100% chance of not receiving the thing I want because of PayPal's paranoia.

    Frankly, I see that as a positive. If I made a similar transaction I'd be up set if it didn't at least trigger a fraud alert.

      If there was an easy way to unblock my account I wouldn't mind much, but they wanted me to pick up my Canadian landline to prove that it was actually me buying things in Vietnam... Can't make this stuff up.
