Topic: Beware of PayPal and other reversible transfer services - page 26. (Read 826015 times)

If they send you the PayPal payment as a gift , they  charge you back / get a refund

Paypal, no way. They have no business being involved in the trading of Bitcoins! Trades are final!

Was reading this thread till I saw your post then when I checked the link ... what the hell? Is it really seized by the FBI or the website is just off and they are trolling
really want to trade some Paypal for BTC.

Where I can see full list of reversible transfer services? Thhanks

I think that trades using Unverified Paypal accounts should be disallowed on the forums because they are the easiest and I meant the easiest to chargeback .
Also you may wanna add Payoneer & Neteller to that List I guess PerfectMoney is the only one that have no Chargebacks besides to BTC of course

Thanks for the info.

Yes it's dodgy and they are blocking your account without any info. 

Thank you for info.

Its a standard Block answer, not even from a human. Call them or try to get bigger and be a business partner, not premier. THEN, probably with a chance of 0.00001%, you can claim something back or they decide with the same chance for you.

I just had a discussion with a rep from PayPal:

Thank you for contacting PayPal.

In the event that a buyer has opened an INR or SNAD claim for an intangible item, we will require the seller respond claim with any evidence to prove that the buyer received the goods or services, or benefitted from the transaction.

The evidence varies according to the type of goods and services involved. You should be prepared to provide PayPal with compelling evidence to prove that you provided the service or digital good and that it was as you described it to be.

PayPal will consider all claims on their merits. If a seller shows us that they did provide the goods or services as described, we will reject the buyer’s claim. Sellers will benefit because of the extra confidence buyers will have when shopping for goods and services.

Our Buyer Complaint Process is a tool to help ensure a smooth, secure transaction for both the buyer and seller, and this process should not be abused. We closely monitor our customers’ use of the Buyer Complaint Process. If we find a buyer has filed an excessive number of buyer claims, we may close or limit access to that buyer’s account.

Please let me know if you need further assistance.

Sincerely,
Jeff

I've asked them twice but they seem to dodge the question. I stated in black and white, if I provided screenshots of the buyer showing me their address to where to send bitcoins to, then link the transaction which cannot be modified, ever, is that sufficient? This is the reply I got.

Has anyone here had success fighting off a scam charge back?

Well that is really, really poor on the behalf of PayPal. But I can confirm in Australia there are no fees for family/gift transactions.

If you sold an item on eBay, say Bitcoin, someone buys it and sends your their address via eBay message. You transfer the btc to their account. Its all locked in, proof of all steps have been secured why and how is it still possible to reverse the charge? eBay permits the sale of "virtual currency" surely PayPal should understand this, considering PayPal is now owned by eBay.

Paypal will send your debt to a collection agency and in the US, some WILL bring you to court. A friend of mine was taken to court over around $800.

For gift and family, fees depend on the country and you can most certainly chargeback.

False.

I have over 800feedback on eBay trading with PayPal. The best advice I can give in regards to charge back is leave NOTHING in your PayPal account. If they decide to charge back, PayPal cannot take money from your bank account, only your PayPal account. If funds not available = funds cannot be rolled back. PayPal are useless on this matter.

No matter what proof you provide them, if they say the transaction was fraudulent, you lose. Some people are morons though, they will attempt to claim back using the "item not received". Screenshot's, email history etc will suffice.

Leave PayPal accounts DRY! Also receive funds as gift/family, no fees and from what I am aware, no charge backs.

All the talk about paypal being reversible and not much is ever said about skrill... which is reversible too. 

Are WebMoney and Skrill safe for trade? Are they reversible?

Really useful guide OP thaniks for the info

Good advice. I would like to point out that when selling bitcoins for money with PayPal one person did try to reverse the transaction. I got an email from Paypal stating that the funds where on hold because the sender reported me as a scammer. Four ours later PayPal sent me another email stating that they ruled in my favor. This happened before i had noticed anything was wrong so I did nothing at all. I never had another incident sense. Basically, don't trust anybody offering a higher dollar price than normal.

Thanks for the information. I will be careful next time about paypal transfer service

The person you do the transaction with is more important than the medium of the exchange. There is no good business with bad people.

Any proofs or details about that
