    Beware of using Paypal.com

    I would like to warn people in regards to a very well known scam that has been happening for years to webmasters around the world who provide paid to buy “ebooks” “downloads” “Digital eProducts” “Traffic Hits” “SEO” and other services to your Websites “Customers”

    Back around 2003 I had a Marketing Website "ineedtraffic.com" which provide SEO and Traffic Hits to Clients.

    I bought the site for around $3000 and then off I went and the money started rolling in, I was very happy and I thought I had hit the Jackpot!

    The websites I ran were iNeedTraffic.com and GoldTraffic.com

    From these two websites I specialised in the following:

    1. Search Engine Submission e.g. to search engines such as Google.com and Yahoo.com
    2. Website marketing and
    3. Providing Traffic / Hits / Visitors to website owners throughout the world

    To explain this rather simply, people came to my websites, order visitors, or SEO pay me through PayPal.com and then once I received payment I then delivered the visitors to their websites through a Traffic Hits Reseller TrafficHits.com

    So what happened?

    Reluctantly, I clicked on your blog to read the rest of the post...it really could be summarized with one simple line, and I could have 10 minutes more of my day:

    "Paypal does not cover intangible goods".

    Known fact.

    That's just the nature of the beast, the options you have are to either use another payment processor, or to find a way to make it so you are selling something tangible, and can provide proof of "delivery" somehow to PayPal, in which case you might be covered under their sellers protection policy against fake unauthorized transaction claims.
