Paypal chargebacks

OSRS King · Aug 8, 2014

Hi guys, I'm new to here, and was hoping to one day start selling/buying stuff!
If I wanted to use Paypal as means of receiving payment, what rules would I have to lay out to avoid getting conned?
Same goes with MB and BTC.

Apologies if this has already been asked or in the wrong section, I'd just like to hear from someones own experiences.

Thanks.

Honestly you can't stop people from charging back on Paypal. So just be very careful with who you trade is my best advice.

The only way to be really safe is to check who your selling to limit the amount you sell to one person, and use a website to sel. All the bigtime gold sellers use a website.

Thanks guys,
Do you mean Playerauctions for example? Or set up my own website? Would that make it impossible for the chancers?

Either way works, setting up your own website would be expensive, where as Player Auctions is just a 10% fee everytime. I would use PA for a while and then if you wanna get serious make a website.

What if he is selling Rsgp? This is why he needs to take precautions, if he's selling rsgp.

Paypal depends on the person, if u deem him trusted u could accept it straight if not use PA. As for a website its highly viable but I would suggest getting one when ur business kicks off and u have enough customers

yeah i recommend the just taking the fees on p/a or using skrill as i had lost about $350 in chargebacks...

No way to protect yourself 100% with paypal, you can minimize it by asking for government id sent from their paypal email with a confirmation that they are in full control of their account but even with that, i doubt it would protect you.
