IDontEB Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 safer than not using it but that can still be charged back easily if they wanted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only safe way to sell gold is to use crypto or sell to a trusted, well known buyer/website. Edit: Even then, people scam quit - but it's not very common. I've never had anyone scam quit on me, but I've heard of it happening. Edited August 26, 2019 by AsBakedAsCake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runnwith Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 If you're dealing with people that have low rep, I would make them send the money first via F&F, and then once that has gone through trade the gold. Or either use a MM if you can afford the time/money that comes with it. When in doubt use a MM, or if doing a decent amount trade 1/2 gold then wait for payment to come through then trade next 1/2. Just be safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just be safe. It doesn't matter if they send the money first or not, they have up to 120 days to charge back if they wish to do so. A middleman can't prevent a charge back on PayPal, that is entirely out of their hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valiant One Posted August 26, 2019 Author Share Posted August 26, 2019 I'm just personally afraid they will ban my IRL bank acc for trading crypto. Crypto is under some fire here because govt's are afraid of black market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That or just use bogla to sell your gold to and call it a day. Losing $20-40 on 1b is better than losing the entire amount of the money if they charge back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A middleman can't prevent a charge back on PayPal, that is entirely out of their hands. I was just talking about the method to trading over the gold. Chargebacks are possible and a pain in the ass. That's why when I sell gold I usually get a confirmation to hopefully use in the dispute if they do. //shrug 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabswax Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 i would say no personally for gold, other purchases its perfectly fine, but youd end up getting screwed in the end somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astronomy Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 People can always chargeback a payment, regardless of what method is used. Unless they're sending from their own balance, it'll be very easy to dispute a payment. Giving paypal reviews a quick read would tell you this.

Saad Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I have been accepting PayPal since March and I've so far only had one dispute which I didn't even realize until I saw I won. If you can find people to do family/friend you should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drewyboyo Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Traded ages on and offsite using F&F , never had any issues. I however wouldn't deal a large sum through F&F unless it was a major site / ton of RELEVANT feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 You could use coinbase to accept crypto and just withdraw it to your bank. Could also use it for buying and selling crypto if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
