Hey guys so I was wondering, if you are a buyer on paypal, and a scammer recovers his online acc/whatever intangible goods you bought, what would be the best proof to give to paypal to win a dispute. Do they cover intangible goods, or could the seller just say it's intangible and win the dispute.

 

Thanks for all of the help!

From my experience, this may differ to other people that is they side with buyer, but if it is electronic goods, they won't do anything about it..

So basically the seller would win regardless?

iirc virtual goods are now covered. I always pay 'goods and services' and not 'friends and family'. Make a case and supply evidence. I got an account recovered from me for 25$ USD. I made a case with evidence and won. Good luck!

When I do this kind of thing, I always record it or something. At least it gives somewhat of a proof that you bought it and it worked for some time.

True, this could help possibly

The buyer will win 100% of the time from my experience no matter how much evidence you provide, this is just from personal experience selling runescape gold on ebay a while back. I have tried saying that their case is intangible and it didn't work.

PayPal are horrible at the disputes, it's all luck.
