    Hi - i'm just wondering what is the best way you found to protect yourself from clients requesting their money back?

    - i have a store that does close to 100 transactions / month about 3-5 every month are fraudulent - some i can catch like from florida deliveries to some warehouse - usually addresses that look normal but have a U13511 at the end of it - i know they're fraudulent
    but i have lost quite a bit of $ monthly on transactions that look legit.

    I have started to call any customers that spend more than $300 on a purchase especially when billing/shipping addresses are different, but how can stop this completely?

    Thoughts/discussions are welcome

    My suggestion would be, for placing orders above $100, you would need to approve it yourself. Before approving, create an Invoice in PP and send it to your customers. This way PP cannot suspect a fraud from your end. But I do not know what if customers say, they don't have a PP acc and want to pay by CC. Maybe you can contact PP and ask them if you can send an invoice to cust and ask them to pay by CC.
