Trading safe with PayPal
Hello.
Is there any totally safe way to trade with PayPal? I'm really afraid of refunds...
Thank you!

Kind of exhausting but imho a good idea. This way you can most certainly be sure that he's not using a VPN which is the most common cause for chargebacks (at least the one which you can't prevent at all if done right).

I've been recording the entire trades as a proof that he did receive the account but I'm still not sure if it's safe.

What about sending the money as F&F + person starts his camera and shows his Identify card + his face?

you need to know if he is using a different ip (location)
if he is he is able to chargeback the money by saying someone else was using his account
doesn't matter if he send the money via f&f or showed you his id and face

How can someone else be using his account when he has shown me his ID and face though?

how should paypal now that?
he could show you his id and his face and could still be using a vpn, socks or a proxy
paypal would chargeback the money
besides that there are close to 0 people showing you their faces + their id for a onlinetrade

Imo the best thing is just to record every trade, only trade over epvp and trade with "trusted" people only if paypal is involved.

You record him showing his face, ID and after that sending the cash. *evil*
