Valiant One Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 Is it safe to sell GP for friends and family to customers?
IDontEB Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 safer than not using it but that can still be charged back easily if they wanted. 1

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
Runnwith Posted August 26, 2019 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.

A middleman can't prevent a charge back on PayPal, that is entirely out of their hands.
Valiant One Posted August 26, 2019 Author 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.

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

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
dabswax Posted August 27, 2019 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.
Astronomy Posted September 11, 2019 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.
R12 Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 Yes its safe , but paypal shit overall anyway.
Saad Posted September 12, 2019 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.
Drewyboyo Posted September 16, 2019 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.
Space Posted September 16, 2019 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.
