Topic: steps to make paypal transactions safer (Read 860 times)

Non of the options you mentioned is a fool proof solution of not being charge backed. There is nothing one can do by verifying everything. the best is to raise a invoice from PayPal for a digital goods or service and make the other party pay via that invoice.

Digital goods and services are not covered under Paypal Policy and cannot be charged back.

1. Paypal holder sends balance screenshot with email id.

WRONG SECTIOIN TO POST SUCH A THREAD/POST

Well it is really hard for a new member like me to but some btc with Paypal! Is it OK if the buyer can prove that the fund in his Paypal is a payment from his client?

Most of them are not helpful and just is creating the ilusion of a safe trade.

Even more, I offered for a few months paypal-btc offers on localbitcoins. I received more than 40.000 usd in my paypal at that moment and I never lost a penny.

I like the latest technique, but which paypal email account should they send the email to?

hashshashin .... of course we are against what you saying because we dont belive you.

i don't know if it has been discussed before, but i was thinking of some simple steps to make paypal transactions safer.
feel free to add to it.

1. require the buyer to send selfie with his/her id close to his/her face, and another picture with the id, thus seeing if the name on the paypal account is the same as the buyer.
2. require the buyer to send an e-mail from the e-mail account linked to the paypal account, thus verifying that the buyer has access to the e-mail account, and has not stolen/hacked the paypal account. this step may prove useless if the stolen paypal account has the same password as that e-mail account, but it's worth trying. (the sent e-mail could contain the pictures in step 1).
3. require the buyer to send funds from account balance and not from credit card linked to account.
4. require the buyer to contact paypal via e-mail and make a statement, something like "i, hereby declare that, as the owner of this paypal account, am going to send xxx USD to the account yyy and i will not open a refund claim". the buyer should put the seller's address in the bcc of that e-mail.

this steps will at least "thin the herd" of scammers

i know that the haters who have nothing better to do will start to criticize what i have written above, but maybe something good can get out of this.
