Did they get in trouble for this? Seems kind of screwy since they’re the one that got scammed! Do you know if they bought cash receipt cards? That’s the only thing I’ll buy with amazon. My mistake was buying these cards from the seller with no receipt because he had like a thousand good feedback and no negatives.

Now I’m worried it will somehow fall back on me but I do have proof of every transaction, I hate being scared over trivial things like this, I don’t know what the best course of action is from here but I’ll surely return every disputed charge that pops up.

I read a similar post on this forum from a guy who said he had around 3-5k chargebacks! Wow that’s insane, wish I would have saw that post sooner =(

Edit:
I may be able to recover at least some bitcoin, paxful has a bond they make them deposit in order to trade Gift-cards, I think 0.1 btc, I'll report it to them.
Unfortunately even if I do, depending on how many charge-backs arrive, I will still ultimately be in the hole ='(

Thank you for your reply! Unfortunately I cannot get refunded from the seller, if that's what you ment. I will however will return all and any disputes as they come in. Not going to fight it. If anything happens I'll point them to the guy who sold them to me. This may turn out to be a thousand dollar lesson, I have always traded crypto but I'm new to peer2peer trading. Seems I have a-lot to learn.

Recently I bought about 1,000$ worth of VanillaVisa Gift-Cards in exchange for bitcoin. This was approximately 30 days ago.
I received my first chargeback today for 50$. All cards were bought through the same seller. I assume now there will be more and maybe the guy is a fraud.
I will NEVER ever buy these cards again, should I just refund all of the payments or wait one by one and return them when a dispute comes? Sucks to take a 1K loss but I don't want to be caught up in someone else's fraudulent behavior, especially if it's hurt someone else or has been taken from someone else.

Just curious for any advice on that, and any would be appreciated. I've also bought Amazon cards but I've always asked for the cash receipt. Although i've never had a problem with those it's started to dawn on me that most of the people who've sold them to me have been out overseas. (On PaxFul). How do they even obtain these?

What's the best way to protect myself when dealing with these things?

Many Blessings
