Doctor Roflcopter Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Let's say you're selling an unusual for 100$ in Paypal money and you're using a Paypal account without a bank card linked to it (basically, an unverified account). You find a guy willing to go first and the trade goes through no problem. You then send the 100$ you recieved into a second unverified Paypal account. The buyer then tries to chargeback a week later. What would happen? Since your account was unverified, they can't pressure the bank into making you pay. Maybe I'm just being dumb since I don't know a lot about Paypal...

Free money accepted here Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 If the chargeback goes through, the paypal account would go into negative balance. Meaning if you want to use it again you have to pay the balance on top of whatever you're paying for. Not sure what would happen with the second account though.

Mengh. Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Chargeback can still occur in situations like this. You'd just have a negative balance in the second account, if it doesn't have any credit already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Roflcopter Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 But you would be able to completely avoid the chargeback and still keep the money if you just ditch the first account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Bakula Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 But you would be able to completely avoid the chargeback and still keep the money if you just ditch the first account. Until paypal sends your account to collections and sics debt collectors on you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
λngelღмander Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I had always wondered about this. I think paypal's become far more willing to decline payment disputes lately more than ever, for virtual item trading. It used to be impossible to win a case, but paypal now recognizes our type of trading. I think if you just take screenshots of everything, and are very careful, you'll be fine. Just remember, don't trade with people with low rep at all. If you do want to transfer the money over, and let the account go into negative balance, be prepared for whatever legal issues that may cause.

get miked m8 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 If you transfer funds from one account to another to avoid chargeback and no1 gets chargebacked, they then limit the 2nd aswell, until you verify it. like ID or stuff. Basically if your lucky, you can unfreeze the main with verification, and ditch the 1st one, as they cant prove its owned by the same person if you dont verify the account which got chargebacked.

Riksdagen Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 sike. Gift to family/friends can be charged back. I was scammed about 8$ and i could not make a chargeback. I mailed PayPal about the transaction but they could do nothing because the money was sent as gift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
