    Is there any precautions to take or any way to stop it?

    Skrill can be reversed; however, it's often considered safer than paypal.

    My best advice is to only accept skrill/paypal from VERY trusted sources, otherwise only accept Bitcoin, which cannot be reversed :)

    It's safer than PayPal, but if a person signs up to Skrill with the intention of scamming, it won't be hard for them. I'd avoid using PP/Skrill with untrusted members.

    Yes the only truly irreversible payment method is Bitcoins. Many users have a Bitcoin wallet so I suggest you only accept payments through Bitcoins.

    Yeah, but it's hard to do that because 90% of people don't know how to use BTC :\

    That's actually kinda sad.. Bitcoins eliminates the possibility of being scammed by chargeback; which is one of the most pulled of scams on virtual marketplaces. We should educate people on Sythe about Bitcoins hehe.

    Below taken from the Skrill website. I heard you can buy protection from chargebacks, but that hardly seems worth it.

    Attempts have definitely been made. [Example 1] [Example 2]

    To no avail, unfortunately.. I don't understand how people can continue using Paypal. It's just so inconvenient. Okay, it might be user friendly but it's so full of risks.
