    Hello all,

    I have received 17 orders on my PayPal worth around 3.8K USD from the same person earlier today. I am selling an e-Good - So, I am not worried about any dispute on PayPal. The only thing, I am worried about is if he has pay with his credit card and do the Chargeback later on after fully using the softwares after 1 month.. I would just like to know, is there any way on PayPal to check, what is the source of the buyer sending the payment, either it is his bank/credit card or PayPal Balance. Is there a way...? Let me know.

    Or any other suggestion to remain safe, is highly appreciated. Thank you very much.

    chargeback's are as mentioned by paypal 45 days are not correct,

    and if you sell intangble goods there no security in paypal for your amounts

    any time they ask you charge back

    be carefull about this,

    practically it happend to me after 5 months of payment

    Yes what i mean is :-

    1. If paid by credit card, it can be charged back via bank or card provider in 180 days
    2. If paid by paypal funds, it can be done in 45 days.

    Apologies for confusion!

    Currency exchanges is forbbiden in paypal's TOS. Take that in mind next time you are dealing with such transactions.

    It's pretty clear there's no currency exchange involved. However, the OP may want to look into eGold in the future as a payment processing option for certain transactions; there's no chargebacks with eGold.
