dazeldo Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 Hi there! I am trying to sell an account (not a Runescape account) via Paypal and I want to be 100% that the buyer can not charge back the money he will be sending me. Is there any way to do this safely via Paypal? Thanks in advance.
LeBron Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 Yeah, don't use paypal. It's damn near impossible as a casual PP user, but here's something that might help ya out. https://osbot.org/forum/announcement/34-paypal-selling-guide-by-ironhide/

The same problem is with ebay, buyers can chargeback everything they buy in virtual goods, and you can't do shit Dealt with it myself. Edited February 13, 2018 by andrius12345
The Undefeated Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 It's pretty much impossible. I used to sell CSGO accounts a couple years ago, you could provide all proof of what he bought and proof of the delivery, they still would give his money back. This is the main reason I don't use PayPal anymore. That's also why I prefer Skrill. 1
D Bolter Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 (edited) paypal unfortunately doesn't offer buyer or seller protection for virtual goods Edited February 13, 2018 by D Bolter

Tom Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 (edited) No protection for digital goods if they claim they didn't receive it. I've had one case, in which I lost initially, but I had a rant at paypal (said shit like, oh well that means I can just go chargeback stuff I did receive but say I didn't because you won't protect them) and they actually turned it in my favour and I got the money back Also, if he sends the money as friends and family, I believe he cannot charge back at all unless he can prove it was an unauthorised purchase Edited February 13, 2018 by Tom 1
RDM Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 I got charged back $150 by some twat and even with proof of skype + the trade i still lost because it’s not a “real item” that was traded. 1
Nick M Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 (edited) paypal is fucked. only use it with people you trust. and this is coming from someone who only uses paypal. I hear friends&family can help the one receiving the money though. Edited February 13, 2018 by Nick M

Darren Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 ^ You shouldn't be worried about a chargeback unless you attempt to recover the account that they bought... so I'm not sure why you'd ask. People that are purchasing accounts have every right to be more cautious than if it were to be the other way round, especially if you have intent to scam them (not necessarily saying you do, but I've seen it happen a lot) 1
THS Posted February 13, 2018 Posted February 13, 2018 My only advice would be to not to sell to shitters.

The problem is that I am selling the account including the items that are on it and since items are worth $100-200 and the account itself is worth like $20 I will lose a lot if he decides to chargeback the money. 3 hours ago, Darren said: ^ You shouldn't be worried about a chargeback unless you attempt to recover the account that they bought... so I'm not sure why you'd ask.

What do you mean the 'items are worth $100-200'? You mean untradables?

Nope, the items are tradeable, so if he send me the money via paypal and I give him the account information he can just transfer those items to his account before issuing a chargeback.
