Paypal ALWAYS sides on the side of the buyer, so the current scam is to brute force hack accounts on ebay and buy up bitcoins.  Since the bitcoin transfer is NON reversible, after the honest btc seller on ebay gets the paypal money and sends the bitcoins, the non honest paypal / ebay user then says "oh my account was hacked! Sure, some accounts were hacked... and many were not - but they go on a btc buying spree to LOOK like they were hacked fully knowing that paypal will reverse the charges.

So person goes bitcoin buying spree, the tells ebay/paypal (same company) "oh no I was hacked"
Person now has all the bitcoins, and gets their money back. Seller of bitcoins is screwed.

BTC seller is fucked because A> paypal ALWAYS sides with the buyer. B> bitcoins are long gone and you are out of luck and they just take the money right out of your account and may even freeze it.  Ebay was originally pulling bitcoin listings but it appears they are allowing it now, but almost ALL the buyers are scammers either hacking the account or pretending to be hacked.

This needs a current thread of its own.

you are totally right. I have a little online shop, paypal-based and got chargebacked a lot. But well, what can i do if i only have paypal Sad. And there is a way that you cant chargeback. On an other forum there is a paypal message which tells that you have no right for  a chargeback. This works very often Smiley

I don't think amending a "you have no right for chargeback" statement in your sale would work - because ebay states you can't override their rules and so does paypal.

I dabbled in selling BTC on ebay and only got a few legitimate buyers and more than 60% scams.  I have been trying to figure out some way to prevent the scamming but have not yet, so now I do not send the BTC ever until I mail an instruction booklet with a secret phrase that must go to their address and be opening and e-mailed to me. This of course is confirmed delivery, which I must charge extra for, but I even got a charge back on that which is now in dispute.  My term is that I am selling a beginners guide to bitcoins and including the bitcoins as a BONUS once you receive your guide.  Paypal is not liking this though. We'll see what comes of it.  Until then no more ebay selling for me.

take bitcoin instead of paypal.

Yeah good luck with that.  Pretty much useless and won't stand up because the buyer will claim the HACKER agreed to that, not him
