Most MMs such as myself will not let the money go through us. Therefore, it will charged back by the person being sold to.

exactly what dorianking said, if it goes through us it can cause promblems with our paypal.

Boo hoo.
I take the money through my paypal. If the scammer chargesback, my paypal is affected and not yours (assuming it's not a stolen paypal).

So what's the point of real money trades? - 99% will just chargeback and scam.
Exactly. I had 2 trades before, both through paypal.
Both are charged back. Never use paypal, is my advice. :l

is there a time limit you can charge back? because surely... If people are willing to wait, then a middleman can hold the paypal money and the ingame rs items until chargeback over, then transfer both to the buyer and seller. I'm not sure, not actually used paypal, although it does concern me because I'm planning to sell my account. lvl 123 with 130m cash, and how it would be safest to guarentee I get a fair trade

Thats why the majority of sythe don't use paypal as most of them are stolen

They don't need to be stolen to chargeback.
However, if you trade through a MM (like me), the money will be withdrawn from the MM's paypal and not the seller's paypal (again, assuming it's not stolen).
What are the other methods in Sythe.org? I don't have credit card. Only AlertPay account.
And it will gurantee that it'll be a safe trade?
actually if you don't have the money to pay for it then it will be traced to where you sent the money. I have had that happen to me before when buying items on ebay.
plain fact is paypal = not safe unless you're doing credit card trades with major companies or ebay. It offers so much buyer protection that the seller can easily be scammed.

Ive sold hundreds of pins as well as MMed over hundreds of dollars.
At least 300 trades through my paypal(s).I have around 4-5 paypal accounts, 2 of which are verified.
Been charged back once for 22 dollars, and im getting that back soon anyways because it was a misunderstanding by paypal and not the buyer.
If you are good with paypal, you will never loose money from it. That's why I can MM those type of trades and not loose money. So to the person who said 99% of paypal trades get charged back, don't talk like you know everything about paypal.

You're not buying/selling on ebay. It's a completely separate part of merchanting. What you outlined will only happen IF THE PAYPAL IS STOLEN.
use paypal via ebay....that way you obtain a receipt of purchase
