      just got a letter from paypal talking about changing policy.
      Surely this will come with a better Sellers protection policy.

      Wonder how they'll go about handling it.
      With this I imagine people will be constantly faking being scammed or such; I mean, how can you prove for either side 100%?

      right now, they just give the buyer back his money with the seller fearing for bad feedback. without ebay to deal with, it might be a different paypal.

      I still won't accept PayPal for my goods. If someone wants to be dishonest, they'll still find away. If they use a stolen account, they could most likely still change all of the information so they can be verified , so i just don't trust it.

      Ah well I get that buyer's king... but back then when I sold through my own site...someone chargebacked after 1.5 year.....

      Presented PayPal with download logs, e-mails, statcounter tracking of when he booted up the routine...... yet PayPal still believed him saying: I did not buy it.... someone hacked me... I never bought or wanted anything from him.

      Sigh >.< shrugs..... in the end ur cheaper off just refunding cuz the 'investigation costs' are higher.

      That policy update doesn't change anything. PayPal already used "buyer is the king" since like ever.

      Its not like they can do anything about it. In digital purchases there is no way to verify buyer's id. Physical credit card isn't present in transaction, there are no security cameras, no signatures or anything else that could be used to verify buyer's id.

      This!

      With this policies, Paypal was, is and will always be unsecure way to accept money from randoms over the internet, no matter what! They give technically zero protection on the seller, unless its Ebay, Amazon or other corporation.

      The only way Paypal could be used, is to work with trusted sources only!
