how do you prevent paypal scammers?

[jereminion]

hey i am trying to sell wow gold for real money through paypal. i am paypal verified and trying to sell 1k gold for around 1 dollar.

i forgot what the method was called, but people scam you easily by making a 'challenge' or something that says their account was hacked and paypal returns their money to them. then i am out of gold and have no money.

i dont get how its possible to safely get money though paypal when you can just get it back so easily

any help is great +rep

Let them pay as a gift is your best bet

I'm in a similar boat. I'm trying to sell a WoW account but not sure how I can protect myself with PayPal if the buyer files a claim against me. What can I do to protect myself?

The best thing to do is get them to open a claim, then close it.

If they disagree, it means they want to scam you.

I also am in the same situation, lately ive started to sell gold but so far Ive only made one transaction, a buyer gifted me the money(50$) and he didnt dispute or anything so it was sucesssful, but lately hes the only person i want to sell too because i dont know if anyone else is gunna dispute gift and im not sure if u can even dispute gifts. Anyhow, whats the best way to stay safe and for the buyer to not dispute the gift. Im not even sure if some buyers will want to or even pay in "gift" form. Ive heard making a website will help a lot but Im pretty sure it costs money to make a website and keep it up and even if i did it would be kind of weird If i was just selling gold on one server and on one faction. Please help, feel free to private message me or post any links that might help

Be aware! it's called a Payment Reversal - it's more dangerous than just a dispute!

paypal is a bitch, people buy my guide from realwowguide.com and I get every week people claiming that there paypal was hacked. I have a verified account (ID/ registered company etc.) that helps a lot. But if people really ask for a refund because they are not happy, you should give it them I have received one refund from 100+ sales

You can't. Paypal don't deal with virtual goods nor the purchase/sale of them so 99.9% of the time you will lose.

Only 1 way, you can be safe:

1). have them Donate the money then give acct details

Paypal will/can not reverse the charge.

I tried to transfer money from one paypal account to another as soon as i get the money but couldnt because paypal limited my account and didnt allow me to transfer the money. Can i transfer the money with a verified account as soon as i get money(or any way to transfer it immediately to another paypal acc)? What if i transfer the money immediately and customer wants a chargeback?

You can reverse a gift, donation or request payment.. you'll have to get them to open and close the dispute to be 100% safe.
