if he sells his coins via paypal, wouldn't he be the one thats at a higher risk of getting screwed over?
You guys should really understand how PayPal works before just saying it can be chargebacked!11!
There are stipulations.
Honest PayPal buyers, such as myself can get screwed. Like so, send a gift under your IP or any IP that has been linked to your PayPal before and consider those funds gone. PayPal WILL NOT under ANY circumstances refund that money. A gift will ONLY be refunded if there is proof the funds were not sent buy the account holder, ie. sending a payment through TOR. But like I said if you're honest, like myself, sending a gift payment is a risl only to the buyer. Which is why even though I buy with PP I still only use trusted sources.
Also...
If charged with invoice or for goods, all the seller needs is a tracking number. Because you most likely won't get an invoice for a physical good, all that is needed is a tracking number on a package to your address which could very well be just a box with a penny in it. After that, 95% of the time, the money will NOT be refunded, especially without a link to a purchase, ie Ebay.
Also...
PayPal does not use logic or common sense. They do not use 'legal/court' proof (camera, pics, similar wording or typing in messages). They use 1. IP addresses and other identifying/attributing and characteristics and 2. tracking numbers. There is not an 'investigation', PayPal is very simple in the way it works and there is no in depth anything, only what I have stated above. This is why people hate it so much, there is no proof, there is no logic in anything they do.
That's it.
These are the FACTS. I know, I have been screwed every which way for all kinds of things, eBay, bitcoins, etc. I have learned their system inside and out. Hopefully, this will help people understand the procedure more or help someone in some way. The safest way for
honest buyers AND sellers to use paypal is by using well known trusted members.
