    Just wondering how you people deal this thing. I would like to know how can I keep myself safe from users for whom Paypal limits account.

    Its become quite impossible to know if the sender is using others account or not.
    How can I keep myself in a safe position and avoid unauthorized transactions ?
    What type of procedure do you follow?
    are only accepting payments from verified accounts safe?

    Kindly share your experience. Be honest while you reply. lol

    Some people says Paypal is safe, personally never had any problem, only once from a buyer, paypal asked us both to send proof of transactions, I did a development work and he paid through cc, we both said same thing, and paypal released the amount. Not limited my account.

    I am accepting payments from both accounts (verified and unverified) for over 3 years and nothing bad happened. If you have a good feedback score (transactions without problems) and an old account...you won't have problems.

    Yeah, me too. It's been a year for me but nothing like that happened. I'm pretty sure tuba that it will unlikely happen again.

    I have also 3 years old account, accepted many payments from both type verified, unverified, cc. Only once I had problem as mentioned before.

    I am going to use Paypal more nowadays but after reading DP members experience or paypalsucks website, sometime be afraid, most people claims they use honestly and paypal limites their account (I doubt :p). Although I never ever tried to misuse the account, hope I can keep trust on paypal for a long time.

    Unfortunately... it is not possible to completely eliminate such risks and one should consider it to be the cost of doing business with Paypal!
    The only possible way to safeguard yourself would be to do business with only reputed members and who have a long standing! :)
