Now see that The theymos discussed 2011 for this  https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/beware-of-paypal-and-other-reversible-transfer-services-14632 you check the topic it will be clear some of think.

Money sent through PayPal and any other money transfer service that accepts credit cards can be easily reversed by the sender, even after several weeks. Therefore, you should only accept PayPal in trades with people you trust very highly.

This is why newbies are not likely to sell their PayPal USD for bitcoins successfully.

Some other services that are not totally safe:
- Bank transfers (ACH, etc.) except wire transfers
- Most gift cards.
- Moneypak
- AlertPay
- Paysafecards
- Dwolla
- Western Union (they reportedly will sue the recipient to recover money in some cases)

checked a lot of reply people in this topic, see and read carefully

It means that you should give a service which is not reversible because you can reverse the Bitcoin transactions.

Take a look at this list of sample of non-reversible services.

- Offering SEO service paid with bitcoin
- Unlock iCloud service
- Unlock SimLock
- Selling Giftcards
- Selling Accounts
- Depositing Bitcoin in Namecheap and use their service.

This is just my sample of non-reversible services once you deposit a bitcoin or buy their service paid with bitcoin there is no refund policy.

Bitcoin transaction is irreversible, you can't retrieve on your own once you have sent it.

Non reversible services, can't return, can't exchange, can't be altered.

First you need to understand the point satoshi was trying to make when he used the words Non-reversible service. All he was trying to say is, the centralized system of these 3rd party providers have made Non-reversible transaction reversible without your knowledge. For example when a transaction is carried out successful between two users, such transaction isn't meant to be reversible but with a 3rd party involved you can't guarantee that not happening.

Examples of non reversible service are contract signing, trade between two users etc with 3rd party like PayPal this service are reversible (without) the knowledge of the other party but with bitcoin they aren't.
