Selling my Wii via Ebay - Preventing Chargeback?

MooMooMoo · **Posted:** Wed Feb 13, 2008 4:47 am

Well Im kinda broke so Im selling my Wii through ebay and Im afraid that I might get scammed through a chargeback. Is there anyway to prevent this? Ive been reading and I think I need to find a "Verified" paypal buyer to sell to or something like that? Worst case scenario is like they sending me the money, then I send them the Wii, after they receive it, they do a chargeback. Can anyone help me?

ANY help would be appriciated

I've tried using the search button and entered "Prventing Chargeback" and I got no useful info btw.

u can usually trust most buyers on eBay

if they have good feedback, then they probably wont do a Chargeback

Good feed back and make sure they have been around for a long time or have bought alot(if you can find out).

How about you just don't accept PayPal then?

Make them send a MO or something.

eBay works with Interpol, if that happens open a dispute and report the user to the eBay police.

thanks guys

another question, what does a "verify paypal account" mean? Can they still do a chargeback if they have a verify paypal account?

Yup. It just means that paypal account is linked to a legitimate cash source (eg verified bank account). Even if a chargeback is initiated, you could still defend your case. Just to add, if you accept paypal as a payment option, only accept ebayers with verified paypal.
