A few questions about paypal.

I'm a noob when it comes to online trading and I've only done 2 minor deals here in sythe so far with paypal.
So I'm probably selling an account soon for about 100 dollars and I need to find know some more about safe paypal trading. I heard "claim/cancel" is the only safe way not to get fucked over, is this true? Also how does it exactly work, I'd appreciate a little guide or something. Do I have to do anything or is it upto the seller only?

Don't wanna give my account details and then notice that my money is gone =/
Any tips are welcome

 

paypal claim and cancel and payment as gift are the only two safe ways to trades

 

So gift can't be refunded?

 

Paypal can always be claimed back as papayl doesen't condone the sale of virtual items, the people with the money are ALWAYS able to recover it.

 

In my case. i make all my buyers off of paypal put "I am buying a virtual item and will not dispute/claim this transaction. I have recieved my virtual item, therefore I am not eligible to retrieve my money sent" in the note so they cannot send a claim.

 

Good idea. Maybe I should try that on every trade as well.

 

When you trade someone, he/she will need to send as gift so he/she can't cancel the transaction so u can't get scammed.

 

U sure? Even with claim/cancel? Getting very different replys, not sure what to believe :sick:

 

The people with the money can't recover the money when u send it as gift, else evryone should do this with a 100$ trade or something, they are not able to recover when u send as gift, 100% sure.

 

Not even this is safe.
They can claim gift as an unauthroized transaction.

 

Make them send the money as a gift with a note attached saying:

I understand that I am sending $X for virtual items. By sending this money I hereby agree that I have received my virtual items and that I am satisfied.

Or something with that gist.

 

anything can be recovered. nothing is save. all the person has to do is call his/her credit card company and claim that he did not authorize the transaction. then he says that he had his computer infected, and as proof he can check paypal and see that the last login was from another isp (probably an Internet cafe ). so this means that it dosent really matter what you write on the note. if you want to be sure there is no way the person can recover then dont use paypal for big transactions use western union money transfer (forgive me if i am wrong in saying that this is the safest, as it is just my opinion and not a fact).
