    Preventing Chargebacks

    How are people that are selling things like (gold, gta 5 accounts, boosting, powerleveling, accounts, etc...) With their own website avoiding chargebacks? What are the tactics used to steer away shady buyers etc... I've seen companies like ****Gold selling $1000+ of gold per day, how are they avoiding chargebacks same with these powerlevelers, gta 5 account sellers etc... Thanks!

    Edit, I also see tons of league of legends boosters how often would someone boost an account to say diamond 1 for like $500 and then get chargebacked so they lose the money + $20 + they lose all of that time.

    It's a million times harder to chargeback something bought through a website than it is to chargeback a personal seller. They have the protection of their own ToS and proof of delivery. Unless the purchase was done fraudulently through a hacked or stolen PayPal, it would be very challenging for someone to chargeback an order through a website without good reason.

    If I created a website and had a merchant PayPal account you are saying that I would be less likely to get charged back? I am not understanding because even without a website you get the buyer to confirm this and that and they still can go through with a dispute even if you have logs such as skype. I am not understanding what you mean could you elaborate? If I created a website that had a ToS that says no refunds period and said you are buying nothing for $100 they couldn't chargeback?

    I've also seen people post reports I am talking huge sellers of gold where a guy bought gold from a VERY VERY popular website then a month down the road chargebacked for $1000+ so I don't understand

    Then he had enough evidence to win the case. Either he didn't recieve the gold or someone was using his PayPal without his consent. Chargebacks take months to investigate and if someone is desperate and crooked enough to pursue one they will, but PayPal is supposed to contest them on your behalf. I didn't mean having a website eliminates the risk of chargebacks altogether, but it makes them less frequent. There should be no peer-to-peer trade involved. If someone orders from a website by clicking a hyperlink to pay via PayPal, and there's evidence that whatever service or item has been downloaded or rendered, then they shoudn't win the chargeback. They'll get in trouble with the bank and probably lose their PayPal account. It doesn't happen like that 100% of the time, and if you're running a business then chargebacks are sometimes unavoidable even with the right precautions. That's just part of the hustle. Legally it's called friendly fraud, and can get people in a lot of trouble if the business decides to fight it in court. Hope that answers your question!

    Thanks for your answers what would you do for proof if you were giving somebody like views likes or something how do you have proof that you did that and it didn't just happen? I still don't understand how a kid was able to chargeback over $1000 worth of RS gold and get away with it same with the people who do league accounts powerlevels and things of that nature. Or say I were selling accounts on a website how would you have proof that you delivered it and not get chargebacked, you lose all of your time + money in those cases
