How do I prevent being scammed when selling a game account through paypal?

Help anyone? People say to get the buyer to claim and cancel or something?
What does this mean/how do you do it?
Thanks!

 

By not using paypal.

Use Western Union

 

yeah paypal is a scam waiting to happen for an account trade, just use e-gold, W-U, or a bank wire or something like that

 

Egolds should fix your problem, Or just transfer the money to anoter account once you go it.

 

Thanks, I think I'll transfer the money to another paypal account and then close the one he sent it too.
Will that work? It said it will take the funds out of my bank account if I didn't have it in my paypal balance. (if he issues a refund)

 

No they could still come after u

 

cash by mail is the only thing i would use

 

Hes right... Its the safest way
