    How to not get scammed with paypal when selling gold?

    Hey,

    I recently sold gold to two people, friends with each other. They paid on Pay Pal, and then a couple of days later reversed the charge. I've lost 400k gold / $260, whihc took a while to grind!

    Is there anything I could of done different? One of my friends suggested Money Bookers. How you do guys make things safe selling gold/boosts with paypal, as paypal does not protect virtual goods?

    I've read something about sending a postcard?

    One of the guys is a user on this forum, is there anything I can do to report this?

    *sorry if I'm posting in the incorrect section!

    Heya,

    Yes, you should report this. The appropriate forum for that is this one. Make sure to read "how to report" before you actually report.

    As for how to prevent it, I've written a small guide on how to not get scammed. You can find it : here. There's a bunch of others guides on that topic too, so check them out as well.

    But first and foremost? Before trading, check for known scammaers here as well as do a proper google search for them =)

    Hope that helps, peace!

    That's pretty much all you need to know, your post also helped me a bit.

    Thank you Fisher. Currently getting all the screenshots together and going to post on the forum with the trade info. Your guide looks good, looks like Skrill only for me from now on.

    Anytime! Yeah, while it's harder sometimes to get whoever is paying you to use Skrill, it's by far the safest. Most of the time it's worth to lose a trade here and there in exchange for not having to worry about scammers at all =)

    Glad it helped, peace!
