Hey, I have a question, when there's a dispute (escalated to a claim) paypal asks me to provide tracking number for shipping, there are some providers in the drop down list for which paypal can automatically determine the package status. I remember USPS, UPS, FedEx does anyone remember more? Also I want to receive (large) payments, I don't wan't to use paypal for the fear of disputes and reversals, I can't use western Union as it requires handling of cash and I don't want to give the buyer my A/c number, country etc. for the fear of identity theft. What are my options? Thanks
Well, escrow do charges high fees but you can expect the safest trasaction on the internet to deal with. As said above escrow is good if the deal contain high amount.
You are right in trying to find a different solution. I would NOT use paypal for transactions of large amounts. They will screw you over.
If you have an account in USA, try Authorize.net, they have rather low transactions fees and they are very popular in USA.
