PAYPAL need answer very quickly

[Clicks]

If someone sends you money on pay pal then as soon as you see it you send them the information is this good practice? Should I wait a few days or something? Is there some way they can refund their money through paypal or something?

They can do something called a chargeback, where they basically say that the transaction was an unauthorized. Generally, people want the info instantly. I suggest calling them and talking on the phone, making the interaction as personable as possible in order to avoid being scammed. Get their real name, address, some background info... and just go with your gut about whether its safe or not.


You can also use an eGaming Supply Middleman to help make everything smoother. Best of luck!

if they do chargeback what can I do to counter this?

If they claim chargeback then paypal will give them their money back (because they're basically telling paypal they've been defrauded to scam you your account). This will then put you in debt because the transaction fee you pay paypal will still stand even though they reversed the transaction (you get no say unless youcan PROVE you gave them the account, which is pretty much impossible as it's non-physical goods and cannot be tracked- so get a middleman service to do it for you). Oh and you'll also proberly have your paypal account limited- because they need to check you are genuine and not a fraud because of the scammers actions making them believe so, so you will need to wait a few days to get activated again.

My advise is get a middleman service, it may have a cost but it saves you money as you wont have to pay paypal 10 times before you find a genuine buyer, it will also increase the security of your transaction and most scammers will back off when you mention you refuse to do any other payment apart from middleman.

Good luck
