I currently have an awesome account I'm looking to sell.
My problem is that a lot of the potential buyers of my account are trying to scam me. I have caught a few of them by doing some research on their emails and paypal ID's.
What they would do is send me money through a verified paypal account, then ask for my account information. After they receive the information they would file a claim with Paypal to dispute the charges as unauthorized. Paypal would then hold the funds and investigate the transactions. I called Paypal and they said they don't protect users who sell "virtual items"
I was fortunate enough to catch a these scams before losing out, but I am afraid to do any further transactions before learning how to protect myself from these scammers.
Anyone have any ideas on how to succesfully unload virtual items without getting scammed?
