They have told me about it they say they did not accept virtual products proofs...I guess I will just need to provide invoice already...And be cautious of scammers as well

I don't sell anything for more than $20 when using PayPal. I would hate to sell something for $1,000 and end up getting scammed with a fake reversal.

I do agree with you I am afraid to sell a bigger amount since they might charge back ..Isnt it even long period of time already that the payment has been paid it can still be charge back?

I just had a $10 PayPal chargeback today.

Here is my solution to paypal. I had my business lawyer on the phone when some moron did a dispute on a order that he never canceled and they put my account in the negative so I called with my lawyer, talked to a supervisors supervisor. I had the negative remove. Claim closed, and my auto found in favor.

Supervisor is what I almost always demand to speak to in any event, paypal, dell, etc. Many times the supervisor will do most anything to satisfy a customer if enough pressure is given.

No I don’t think so paypal is very secured one as I am using and good for buyers as well as seller.

This intended that PayPal had no command over it because it was in the handing out bank's hands. He clarified to me that the only genuine trader defence with PayPal is if you deal an piece on eBay and have verification that you transported an piece to a customer.

@OP.

NO kidding. It's time to have a "everyone switch to AlertPay" day.

2 worst moments in internet history:

1) eBay takes over Paypal
2) eBay takes over Skype
