hi, I've always used Paypal as my 'trusted' payment method between unknown parties. I've just sold a car on eBay for over 1k, the buyer has made payment (not shown up yet) via Paypal. BUT I've just read a few stories of a seller who got paid with Paypal, delivered the item then the buyer a while later reversed the payment claiming that it was fraudulantly made. The seller then owed Paypal the money because they sided with the buyer, so now he's down the purchase cost AND doesn't have the item. This seems crazy, so wanted to check if Cash is now the only safe method and if Paypal should be avoided if payments can be reversed so simply just by claiming 'fraud'. Advise much appreciated.
