    Hey guys beware of this scenario that happened to my friend recently after he got really into DP. Just as a warning.

    1. Customer sends you money and you feel accomplished.

    2. Next day customer files a "Un-Authorized Claim" at PayPal saying that they never authorized the payment.

    3. They will send you an email asking for the money back saying they have been "hacked" and so on.

    4. You check your PayPal and see that your money has been temporarily removed.

    5. You check the "Solve Dispute" page and see only three options:

    a) Refund the money

    b) Show that you have shipped the item

    c) Provide proof of refund

    6. You then choose one of those (to your loss) and feel bad.

    7. Now you get a message from DP saying

    "You have been banned from DP for the following reason:

    Reason: Committing Fraud
    "

    8. Next day you get a message from the original DP poster (the guy who paid you, not the guy who sent you an email) saying:

    "Haha who's the hacker now!"

    9. There is nothing you can do but folow this guide and make sure you dont deal with people with NO iTrader (ironic isnt it, that i have no iTrader)

    Thanks for letting me help you. Hope this HAS helped you gain some insight into how PayPal sux.

    Its not like we should not deal with people who have 0 ITrader as everyone starts one day but we should be carefull them take $ first then make deal only after 24 hours....

    I didn't experienced any scenario like this but I was also scammed/tricked 2 times by people here in DP that has a 0 iTrader. And I learned from my mistake. So from the last few days ago I decided not to deal anyone with below 10 iTrader anymore.

    Thanks for this detailed info bro... rep added
