i just found out that paypal doesn't contact the fraud department when you get scammed its either you lost your money or thats it and never use paypal again i lost $700 bucks to a scammer.
One need to be careful while using paypal or any such alternate method of payment!! They dont take any responsibility of what you deal but you can still file a dispute!! Really $700 is a huge loss!!
every payment processing have frauds problem... paypal is not alone in the market... even egold, moneybookers etc.etc... all get fraud problems... its simple... when you accept online payment, you are in risk of getting fraudulant payments also.... beside paypal cant do anything unless you provide hard evidence....
i agree with you that 90% cases of fraud happens with paypal by the we how u got scammed do let us know we might give some suggestion by which this can get solved
Wow! scary.. now i'm thinking twice if i were to buy a domain from someone who would accept only in paypal.. one thing i wonder DP forum has become so big, time to come up with its own escrow system...
