    Paypal actually being good.

    So I sold a guy a runescape account, he gets banned on sythe, he charges back the money so I'm thinking I'm screwed since he sent it as 'goods' and I obviously don't have a tracking id or anything to give to paypal. So in the dispute I explain to them about sythe, and about him getting banned on sythe and thats why he charged back. A week goes by and they ruled in my favor saying 'Paypal doesn't cover virtual goods'.

    I didn't know you can convince paypal it was virtual goods even though the person sent it as 'goods'. I guess thats a double edged sword depending on which side you are on.

    ~Just wanted to post this since I am happy it went my way and really surprised it did

    PayPal have never covered virtual goods and recommend buyers not to purchase virtual goods. However, I've still seen disputes for virtual goods go both ways so you just never know with PayPal.

    It's true, PayPal don't cover virtual goods. I learnt this the hard way when a corrupt cd key selling store sold me a Black Ops key that didn't work for $30 (£15). I disputed on PP but they just told me to fuck off basically. But yeah, if you send the money to them don't expect to get it back.

    yeah but what I was saying is he sent the money as 'goods' so I was expecting paypal to be like 'no tracking id = goods not sent = money back to buyer' so I was surprised I convinced em it was for virtual goods.

    All in all I think Virtual Goods / Service is alot safer than Gift payments. Gift is often used by thieves and money launderers as well so PayPal tracks these more closely and is more likely to favor the person who disputes should one arise.

    Quite a few people are starting to win disputes via the "Goods" option, is PayPal getting on the sellers side now?

    Well, that's nice for you...

    But the guy was an idiot...He probably charged back saying his stuff wasn't delivered...People that scam a lot will scam and use a proxy or vpn to send you the payment then say it was unauthorized...

    I have a negative balance right now because of some douche doing the above..

    Well since he sent the payment for goods of course hes going to say his stuff wasn't delivered. He said it was like a necklace but I somehow convinced paypal it was not a necklace but virtual.

    Although you won be careful how you use your paypal now. Any other disputes and they will most likely limit you/lock your account.

    It's unfortunate though, because while this rule can work in your favour at times, obviously it can go against you. I.E. Selling an account and the other person charges back because "It's a virtual Item."
