Hey guys, so just a warning to people using PayPal and are selling gold/services on the Marketplace.

 

If you are selling things and having a ton of people sending you money through a Gift, it can still be unauthorized no matter what. If somebody were to really attempt to scam you, they can unauthorized gifted payments.

 

Now that that's out of the way, let's get on with it. 

You guys should primarily sell these services and have people send the money as paying for goods or services. 

Why?

If your account some how gets limited due to a few unauthorized transactions, or if someone logs into it from a different computer, or just something happens to it, it will be limited permanently.

You have to call PayPal in order to fix this, and they said that since you're providing services through the "Gifted" option, you're actually cheating them out of money as there is no fee involved. Even if you provide the correct documentation to show you're the account owner of the PayPal account such as a Drivers license, the person who reviews your account will see many different people giving you money. If you don't call PayPal through a Phone, your account will become limited permanently. You also have to ask for their Supervisor or Manager as the representatives who answer your call seem to be unintelligent people who won't listen to a thing you say. They give you a warning for using the gifted payment method and want you to use the "Goods or Services" way of payment if they're in a good mood.

 

tldr; Anyone can unauthorize any type of payment, whether it be Goods or Services or the Gift option. You'll be safer just having the buyer pay for the fee and use the "Goods or Services" way of payment. Most people are legit anyway and won't open up a dispute. You wouldn't want to have your paypal account limited permanently

 

EDIT AGAIN SIGH

 

THE POINT OF THIS POST IS TO ENCOURAGE SELLERS TO USE THE "GOODS OR SERVICES" PAYMENT INSTEAD OF THE GIFT WAY AS YOUR ACCOUNT COULD BECOME LIMITED PERMANENTLY FOR BREAKING THEIR RULES.

 

Sorry for the caps, but I feel as if these were needed.

 

 

EDIT

 

POINT I'M TRYING TO MAKE IS ALWAYS RECEIVE PAYMENTS VIA PAYPAL THROUGH GOODS + SERVICES.

If you receive payments as a GIFT you're cheating paypal out of money!

I don't want to see any legit gold farmers have their accounts banned permanently because of that . 

I now understand why many gold buyers never gift their payments and always send me it for goods/services. They don't want to break PayPal's rules and become limited forever.

I see. I feel like PayPal shouldn't be allowed to just limit your account though. It's too easy to chargeback and scam tbh.

That's why you need trusted people like me. Muahaha

I always win in a chargeback. I prove my case well and I always talk to the manager to explain the problem and never once have I never gotten my money back.

The point I'm trying to make is ALWAYS RECEIVE PAYMENTS FOR GOODS + SERVICES. I'm not saying anything about getting chargebacked or anything of the sort, that was just one of the reasons for you maybe getting limited. 

If you receive a lot of payments as a GIFT you're CHEATING PAYPAL OUT OF MONEY!

I'm trying to give out a little PSA for people to always receive money for Goods + Services or your paypal account could become limited permanently.

That's pretty obvious, you shouldn't have told them that, you're voiding the fee's, the money on paypal can always be charged back, safest thing to do is  to ask the buyer to send a note saying that he already received the virtual goods, take a picture of what you're selling him and a picture after delivered, if possible a video and MAYBE you'll win the case.

....

Nobody is reading my post.. Everybody is thinking about chargebacks/authorization. I shoulda just taken that out of the post alltogether.

...

PayPal limited my account due to a few unauthorized transactions and wanted to see if I was the real owner. I called them up and they asked a question about why I was receiving multiple payments from people as a gift. I said I was proving services for them for a game. 

PAYPAL THEN STATED THAT THAT WAS AGAINST THEIR TERMS OF USE BECAUSE YOU'RE AVOIDING THEIR FEES.

I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT CHARGEBACKS ITSELF, I'M SAYING THAT'S HOW MY ACCOUNT GOT LIMITED.

 

ONE MORE TIME NOW.
