 paypal question
I'm expecting to make a sale for a substantial amount of money soon, payment via paypal, anyone know how I can make sure I don't end up getting chargebacked / scammed?
If I receive the money and immediately send it to another account, will I be safe from chargeback?

I hate to be a pessimist but if the person you are selling to really wants to scam you and and you use Paypal the bottom line is that there is nothing that you can do to stop it.

Once the payment clears in paypal the only way they can get it back is if they file a fraud claim against you with paypal. If they send you the money and you send them the product they paid for, you should be fine.
Accurate documentation is the key.

I might just be a pessimist, I've never been scammed myself but stories like these make me wary. http://paypalsucks.com/forums/showforum.php?fid=5

There's a lot of propoganda on this site from a paypal "competitor" trying to convince people that paypal is dangerous and you should choose merchantinc.com instead. That makes me question the whol purpose and content of the site.
The stories that look legit should like retards making completly stupid decisions. A lot of them are getting scammed into giving out account information, which is completely retarded.

I had a friend who got scammed over Paypal.
She bought a laptop for $800 dollars and never got it. Then she filed a dispute and got her money back.

If legitimacy is questionable, duck, dip, dive, duck and dodge.

My advice is: Don't sell your drugs using paypal.
