Risk of selling account via PP to low vouch #

So I'm trying to sell my account, and I thought maybe it might be a bit easier to sell via paypal although I prefer RSGP. Is it a big risk to sell to untrusted paypal? I feel like because buyers realize that if they try to chargeback/scam with paypal, the seller can recover the account, this deters scammers who chargeback. Or maybe they aren't smart enough to think that through, idk

What is everyone's experience with this?

 

Unless they're VERY trusted, I don't sell via PayPal no matter what. No exceptions. If I were you, I would only accept RSGP or a payment method that can't be charged-back with the use of a middleman, such as Western Union.

Surprisingly, I bought an account today off KMJT and with my amount of vouches, I'm not very trusted. Maybe there's a way around it and a reason he was able to sell the account to me via PayPal.

 

sucks i just got scammed so now im deff against it, lol. dont do it

 

Since you got scammed, did you recover the account? Idk what sythe protocol is. I'm assuming they let you if you have proof that paypal chargebacked? I'm just saying if this is the case, it makes 0 sense to me why any1 would scam with PP with accounts (I understand with gold) since the original owner can just recover if u scam.

 

Aslong as you're original owner and you're not selling it with any gold it shouldn't be a problem because just like PayPal can be reversed accounts can be recovered.

 

With Paypal chargebacks, does it just erase it off your account? I heard sometimes there may be additional fees.

 

Yeah 99% of the time it costs you nothing when they charge back.

 

If you're not familiar with PayPal, don't use it. As daunting as it sounds, reading through their user agreement is very helpful in preparing you for trades. It'll give you a good idea what sort of information you should have about a customer before accepting their payment, what is needed to win cases, etc.

Accepting PayPal from someone with zero feedback is not always a terrible thing. You can usually get a good feel for one's personality and their intentions after a thorough chat with them. If you get any hint of a bad vibe, just leave it and move on to the next one. If I'm going to be accepting PayPal from someone and feel they're trustworthy, I'll confirm their account is verified, confirm they have access to the PayPal e-mail, and get in writing from that e-mail their intentions with the purchase. Log your own steps during the trade, even if you don't think a PayPal rep would understand what's going on. Everything is helpful during a chargeback case.

That being said, PayPal is still risky business. There's not much you can do if the account was compromised. I avoid accepting it whenever possible and prefer RSGP as it cannot be reversed and can be offloaded to trustworthy buyers, albeit at a low price

Best of luck with your sales

 

Even when selling accounts to low vouches or high vouches if the player tries to scam you, the account is always recoverable by the creation owner (you) so if he paid you for it then got the account and tried changing the password, provide proof to get him banned on sythe, then recover your account.

If the account has valuables and things that you would not like to be dropped or lost, then you may just want to not do it, but if you have gotten rid of everything you need (Gold, items, etc.) then i'd say go ahead.

 

I wouldn't classify this as really risky because if he charges back you can just recover the account as previous posters have stated.

 

Hmm yeah. I'll still try to stick with RSGP for now and maybe look into paypal cuz the account I have is bought from someone else, even if the seller I bought it from can help me recover in case of chargeback, it can be risky

 

This is actually very risky. You have to think about what happens if your account gets botted on and banned, or say you're selling a pure and the other person accidentally gets 2 defense or something. Then he charges back because he isn't happy with the account anymore, so you're forced to trade back that money for a less valuable/broken account.

 

Don't do it. I made the same mistake, The buyer bought the account and suicide botted frost dragons. It got perm banned and of course reversed money. I was like ah well jagex will see wrong ip and unban for me. WRONG. They saw it was wrong IP and said to me the ban is staying because I give away the account details. 2460 total account. RIP.

 

Damn that sucks sorry dude, ok taking this advice lol
