Why you should not purchase scripts using paypal

    Most Paypal sellers and scammers know that Paypal will not issue refunds on digital goods, so lets say you purchase a script, any script and the seller doesn't send you the script then paypal wont protect you, if you purchase what you think is a legit script but it turns out to be pirated, paypal wont protect you. If you buy a license for digital content or digital content period. Paypal will not protect you, you should be suspicious of anyone who will only accept paypal, money brokers or liberty reserve. Most of these types of payment systems will not protect you.

    Now you have people who do charge backs when they shouldn't, for example you buy software that is legit and once you get the software or license you decide you want your money back to get it for free

    Please be aware that no bad deed will go unpunished, we all may have different belief systems but if you do evil things evil things have a way of coming back to you sometimes even worse than what you put out so if the seller was honest you as well should be honest or bad things will befall you or your loved ones.

    The best payment processors that offer the best protections for both sellers and buyers is American Express and 2Checkout

    Both require seller to prove they delivered the products and there is a way to do that, it also prevents buyers from doing charge backs once the seller proved that he or she delivered the goods.

    Any buyer caught doing an illegal charge back would be prosecuted by both the seller and the credit card processor and any seller caught selling something illegal or not providing the said product can equally be prosecuted and penalized by the payment processor and the buyer and pay hefty fines and fees and barred from accepting credit card payments or using credit cards in any capacity.

    In my opinion this is good business sense

    Feel free to share your opinions

    This is a protection method for both sellers and buyers.

    I wont do business with anyone who doesn't accept either of the two- I wont use paypal for nothing, to much fraud going on with them and the sellers who use them. And some buyers with deliberate bad intentions can get your paypal account frozen

    Paypal is not a trustworthy company

    ok, this is about scripts, about selling and buying so this seems to be the best topic for it. Thanks for sharing your words

    This section is for buying/selling scripts only, we don't want to know about your life story, maybe you should have a look in the general section for that :rolleyes:

    If you don't trust someone then don't buy the script, it's that simple. DP has an iTrader system which you may use freely to sus out if you trust someone or not. Like I said, if you don't trust them or their preferred payment method, then don't offer to buy it or don't buy it, it's as simple as that.

    You cannot say that most sellers who accept PayPal are scammers, as that's an absolute false statement.

    Some good information here, it is important to use iTrader or Ebays buyer and seller reviews or any equivalent system.

    I have been burned a few times, but overall been good

    Use escrow.com....it may cost a little but it is by far the best protection in online transactions

    I agree with what Larry said, that's why there are itraders/feedbacks to every users so we'll know if they can be trusted so we should try to use that.
