    hi everyone, I'm willing to sell one of my sites , the price i'll ask for is between 4 K to 7 K ( yeah my site makes 100$ a day with adsense ) but I have a problem
    should I ask the buyer to send money to my paypal ? As I know paypal doesnt offer refund for virtual items ( don't take me wrong, i'm not going to scam the buyer , just in case he wanted to play the bad boy )
    so what do you think
    thanks

    Noway you want to use PP.The best and wise choice will be to go with Escrow.Don't take the risk.Talk to him so he pays the escrow fees or atleat you split them.Anything from now on you want to sell and its over $400 just go with Escrow.Cheers!

    Just because...PP can play tricks with you when a big figure hits the account.You could find your PP limited and your money stuck in for 6 months.Happened before to me and to alot of other ppl.

    Not to mention that he can open a dispute and take back your money afterwards...Escrow gives bouth of you way more security.

    I have bank account from payoneer, and escrow asks fro the bank account to send money, can I use payoneer for that ?

    Yes Payoneer is a US bank account (more or less).When asked to put in ure bank account details you use what Payoneer gives you
    First Century Bank
    the rooting number and so on...you find it in your payoneer account.

    Yep, always use Escrow for high value sales. If for any reason you cannot use it and have to go with PayPal, put all of the files and folders related to your site onto a CD and ship it to your buyer using tracked delivery where they have to sign for it. If they then dispute it, you can show PayPal that they signed for it and accepted the goods as received.

    It's not foolproof, but I've won cases on PayPal this way (before I used Escrow exclusively).
