Is Moneybookers safer than PayPal for sellers?

Discussion in 'PayPal' started by dilluzionz, Jun 22, 2008.

    I read a lot here of people selling things, like domains, and then person sold to files a claim with PayPal and gets their money back.

    Is MoneyBookers safer for a seller? Do they allow chargebacks?

    Thanks for any input.

    If you deal with trusted buyer then there is no more worries of chargeback either in paypal or in MB.

    DON.

    Thanks everyone for the input. I think I'll go with escrow or egold for any large ticket items. I was reading here earlier where even some DP members get there accounts hacked, and they have good rep, but someone else scams people with their account. So I guess it's escrow, TDNAM, SEDO or e-gold.

    Escrow is always best option if you go for large amount transaction IMO. Its really safer all the way.

    Yes I think it is safer as no charge-backs there. But nothing is safer for CC transactions.

    Once your buyer make a claim at CC company then CC company will contact MB to get their money. In this case MB will block your account for life time. I have a friend who had a same situation and he lost his MB account with some in it. There is no fault of him. Also MB guys are not helpful for his account holder while PayPal guys are always helpful and will help you to resolve the Case.

    But I think Escrow is the best for sellers.

    hi bro,as i told E-currency is good option but never use E-gold , e-gold is lame company with no rule,if you search around you will see 99% of their account is blocked and they will cheat you,best e-currencies are LB or WMZ (wmtransfer)...

    Regards

    Usually MB doesn´t allow "chargebacks" but if the "buyer" claims an unauthorized transaction they often refund the money to the buyer. But normally they don´t do chargebacks just because a buyer says he didn´t recieve anything or so

    PayPal is a scam for seller because they have a sick tos.
    Moneybookers is safe, when the buyer send money to you will be final. No refundable.
