I was thinking of putting my CSGO knife for sale on PA.
Now, I have sold and bought accounts over there in the past and the process pretty much goes this way; buyer pays, seller gives info, buyer verifies it's been completed and changes e-mail/pass, PA pays in 1-2 days.

Now, if the buyer decides to write to PA that he has been scammed and did not receive the account info/got recovered, PA will fully refund him and then as a seller all you have to do (as the buyer scammed you) is recover your account.

I am guessing selling a Knife is the same exact process, but what can a seller do if he gives the knife to the buyer (after buyer paid to PA) and then the buyer decides to write that he did not receive anything? PA will fully refund him and there is no way to 'recover' your knife.

Is it safe to sell over there?
What can I do to protect myself from that happening?

Just record sending the user the knife.

If there is a dispute and you provide that to PlayerAuctions you're unlikely to have any problems. Works the same way with RSGP.

Hmm ok, but what if he got refunded already? PA can't take it back right? It just seems extremly unsafe to me as a seller.

You're just paranoid.

He won't get refunded before you deliver, you get a chance to respond to any claim. If you have proof of sending the items, PA will decide in your favor. PA isn't like PP, they actually know the industry.

I just don't like taking unnecesary risks. I've sold a couple of expensive accounts on there and bought a few cheap ones. Never had issues.

What if the buyer claims that I gave the knife to the wrong person or something? There are so many way a buyer can say that he got scammed.
Are you SURE PA will decide in my favor if I record my screen when I send the knife?

Ty for taking your time and answering.

If you're that paranoid about it why not just sell it here to someone trusted or sell it via some nonrefundable payment method IE Bitcoin or RSGP?

You'll receive his steam name/link or whatever it is.

Obviously double check its the correct one, and then trade over the items.

People on PA generally don't even open disputes, because PA requires a lot of verification and has a good dispute system so its a waste of their time. If you record the trade, there is like a 95% or better chance everything goes smoothly.
