NEVER use funds from your PP account to buy digital items

    I have lost too much money either buying domains or websites and using the funds in my paypal account to buy them. If you fund with your paypal account and the seller doesnt send you what you bought there is no way you can get that money back. Paypal does not protect buys against fraud of digital goods. Always use a credit card or debit card when buying site or domains. Your bank will always side with you and paypal wont.

    Just wanted to get this out there so others done lose $1000+ like I recently did.:mad:

    Sorry for your loss but they are very clear about it in section what is not covered. I can't see my bank being able to help me in this matter either tho, maybe its just in my country

    If i'm not wrong, it depends on the type of transactions when you about to send the money. for business transactions, paypal will charge you more, but then you got more protect your money.

    I had this problem when selling my wow account, you need a trustworthy buyer, some sites have trust and refund like a middle man built in such as markeedragon.com

    I haven't seen many problems as the seller, but maybe there are transfer reversals for this too?

    The bank can help you if you produce a letter from the vendor that they did not receive money from your bank account for any service you have requested for. The bank can investigate the reason and credit to you the money back. It worked for me even I filed the case after 30 days of my bad transaction.
