Hi. Wanted to make this guide so no more people going to get scammed.

Before trade:
When You sell fg/items make sure buyer confirms ( pm ): amount of fg/items, price, acc name, paypal email adress

Trade:
Do small amount first to confirm users paypal email adress ( or ask him to email from this adres )
Make sure he writes in transaction comments what's he buying
If you trade items ingame make sure he types in acc name and paypal email ( make s/s )

After trade
Screen shot all of these above adding gold logs etc

Refund scam
When you got all this info/screenshots after refund contact paypal team and provide all this information with screenshots. In few days you'll get your $ back. Scammer pp will be blocked for future transactions

I hope I helped

i dont think paypal refunds even if you have proof. i have been scammed in the past where the guy actually says i feel bad for scamming you and paypal didn't do anything.

the safest way to trade is to make sure hes paying with funds on his/her account or through bank money, since it is a virtual trade, he can't dispute or chargeback with those methods

Or even easier: don't use PayPal.
Thanks for the guide though.

This guide is retarded, and full of false facts.

PayPal does not support digital purchases, and therefore a seller waives HIS rights when selling something digitally delivered.

The only way to stay safe when selling a digital product, is to legitimately ship something to the user.
When I used to sell d2 accounts with muled items, I'd ship them the username/password, along with telling them it online if they wanted.

Without valid tracking information, you will lose 90% of PayPal disputes.

I've been a verified business member of PayPal since 2002, and I've been dealing with online products since 2004.
There's **NO WAY** to ensure your complete safety as a seller, it's impossible.
So like Eraserhead said, if it's a deal where you expect that the buyer may do something shady, do not use paypal.

People don't listen to scamers / lockeds. If you don't get the info i told You you have 0% chance of getting Your $ back after Refund scam.
