    The safest was would be to deal with someone that you know you can trust. If you can't trust the person, then wait until someone you can trust offers on the account.

    you can always send him the account informations via a slip of paper via DHS or one shipping company. That way, if he tries to chargeback, you can always just give them infos of how you sent it via mail and the tracking # and shits.

    Nobody follows that guide :P People read that and think because they know everything they won't get scammed, so they try to deal with people with 6 posts only to be scammed regardless of their knowledge. I made the "How Not To Get Scammed" board too, but the truth is people can still get scammed through other means. If you want to deal with USD, be smart about it. Think like a scammer and take preventative measures to make sure you can't get scammed.

    I was a dick when I first started doing USD transactions. I would have them wait 4-5 days before giving the item (I would tell them this would be the only way to get it), if they didn't chargeback or pester me they'd get it. If they did, then I'd refund their money and keep the item.

    yeah :/

    just like how a billion people get scammed by people that have topics about them scamming...

    if the retards that trade here only used the search function everytime b4 they trade, and take a close look @ the topics..... we wouldnt 1/4 as much victims of scams as we do now :S




    lmao :P u have such good rep on forums to do the waiting a few days thingy... not everyone does :/ and if everyone didd that, sooner or later, the sellers are gonna scam via paypal xD

    If a scammer is going to scam, then he'll scam. Best to just drop him if he won't do the transaction properly.

    well my method is safe i think i did it sometimes and never got scammed when you are selling you send a bill to the buyer in which one you write : "By paying this bill the buyer accepts not to ever charge back" you can add things but thats what you must say =)

    k well there is not a 100% full proof way to actually prevent a chargeback unless knowing them personally but here is what i'd do if SELLING shit through paypal

    • Negotiate price with buyer
    • Get his paypal email
    • INSTED of him sending you money straight up, you sent him a money request
    • IIn the little notice thingy at the bottom type this :
      "This money transfer I am sending is to signify that I have already recieved the item in question and am now sending the money to pay for the item and there will be no charge back made under any circumstances because the transaction is complete."


    THis does help prevent disputes and shit, but at the end of the day you cant really regulate or prevent the buyer actually calling his CC company and just blocking the payment

    Try WU or MoneyBookers, even though they're both a bitch and not as conveinant as paypal, your choice

    ah crack, i just read your post, i've never heard of the seller sending the request before, but that seems like a good idea.

    How many times have you done it like that? because i've done multiple transactions without being charged back, but it seems that nowadays you have a higher chance of getting charged back then getting hacked lol....

    I've sold a lot with USD using that method and i have never been chargebacked. ;o

    just write

    By accepting this request the buyer confirms that he has received the product and under no circumstances should charge back.
