    That's a perfect dirty business practice


    Moneybookers takes chargebacks as business risk so does Dynadot.com

    When you put yourself as a middle man, you should be held responsible for both parties actions.

    Why doesn't paypal take the buyer chargeback (specially when I offered proofs) as a business risk and keep my money ?

    I know this can be abused but when they feel so (by seeing repetitive chargebacks being taken against same account)

    they can put more efforts in limiting this if they want to

    The fact remains that it's no secret that Paypal operates this way. They don't have to take on risks just because their competitors do. Would it be nice? Sure. But they're not obligated. As a business owner / freelancer, you are however obligated to know who you're dealing with regarding what services you use, and their policies, so you can make the best risk-based decisions for your business.

    Just as an update, Got no reply from paypal for 4 days and now I think they will never reply

    This ends the perfect stupid attitude from such reputed company while handling a dispute

    >>>That's a perfect dirty business practice <<


    I know but it happens everyday and it works perfectly.
    I've been scammed that way and the scammer always had Paypal's help with this...

    Yes, if you have to deal with a person that has low itrader and low post count keep the transaction price down to a minimum. $200 is really a gamble with someone like that.

    Paypal doesn't tell you what was the buyer's reason for the dispute - they just leave you defend yourself for untold accuse

    adding more mystery to the thing and leaving you in a mess.

    If they payed via their paypal account, then well withdraw all the money from your account and their screwed. If they paid with credit card via paypal, then well your screwed 99%.

    Sounds like a giant mess! Why don't you try to give them a call so they can't blow you off?
