Hey guys, I think I just found a possible way to block a PayPal chargeback from occurring. This was shared to me by a friend of mine, so kudos to him.

 

1. First off, have your customer send you the money.

2. Next, ask your customer to open a case against you.

3. Ask your customer to cancel the case.

4. This makes the payment undisputable, and no more claims can be opened for this payment.

5. Sleep well knowing that you won't be chargebacked.

 

Anyone tried this before? I cannot verify that this actually works, but I have high hopes.

Question:

Can't the buyer just call PayPal to re-open the case, claiming that their PayPal account was stolen?

 

Answer:

Well, to prevent that from happening, you have to provide some protection for yourself, by yourself.

The thing to do is to check the IP of the person attempting to buy gold from you. I believe this should work by copying and pasting their Skype name into some service, that tells you the IP address based on the Skype name. Then, you look at the address/location mentioned on the P.P. account. If the IP address location can be pinpointed near/on the area mentioned on their P.P. account settings, you know that the actual owner is using the account.

 

One thing you have to look out for is the use of a VPN. Usually, this will provide you with a different IP address, leading you to a different location in the world (not near the PayPal address), or it will generate an error when searched for, in the Skype-IP search locator/database.

 

 

 

 

Why asking for a government issued photo-ID may not work so well.

 

First off, you are at risk of receiving a fake piece of ID. I know not of any way to verify the authentacy of a piece of ID, due to the fact that there are beyond countless types of ID in the vast world and many countries we live in today. I have recently had a payment reversed, even when the man provided me with a piece of ID. PayPal did not bother to even reply to the message and file I sent to them, with the photo of the ID, that was my main defence for my claim that the buyer's PayPal account wasn't stolen. I know not if they just decided to give the buyer his money back, or the ID was a fake, since I got no reply from PayPal.

 

Another thing is that many people that buy RSGP are young... meaning that they don't actually have a piece of ID to provide for a seller. Of course, there is a passport and health card, but what parent would allow their child to reveal that sensitive information to a third-party?

 

 

Thread still under construction.

Well... the problem is that there aren't many hacked PayPal accounts out there. The people that do chargebacks are the actual owners of the PayPal account, using a VPN to hide their IP and claiming that their P.P. account was stolen. They are just scammers in disguise.

Don't do this...

No offense, but horrible idea.

I've done this couple of years ago with someone, but i don't know if it will work now.

the problem with that....will someone really spend so much time doing a trade? They'd spend at least triple the normal time because they'd have to do the dispute thing and they'd have to look their ip up.

I'd personally choose to spend time securing myself... rather than doing nothing and being at risk of a chargeback. :P

i guess if the parties are willing to spend the time securing themselves then yeah :p

You can't block a chargeback.

They can dispute it as unauthorized at any time you want EVEN if you do your method which will get you limited within 2 weeks.
