Can Skrill payments be reversed?

[Slot]

Title. Considering accepting it as another payment method.

 

It can, yes.

It can, yes.

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.

Chargeback – a reversal of funds on a transaction initiated by the issuing bank. Chargebacks apply for card payments as well as German Direct Debit (ELV) payments. Most common reasons the issuing bank will initiate such recalls are non-delivery of product or service, payment not authorized by card holder or the item delivered is not ad described.
Chargeback Reversal – chargebacks can be objected by providing supporting information on product being delivered, transaction authorization, etc. If the chargeback objection is successful, a Chargeback Reversal is received from the issuing bank. There could be two Chargeback and Reversal cycles for each card transaction.

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.
