As a newish user to payapl if someone wants to send me some money via my paypal address can they scam me and obtain any funds back from me ?

This is not being done via e-bay .

Someone has offered to pay me for a phone from outside the UK via paypal , I am very cautious as they are asking me to send it to Africa.


If I give then my paypal and ask then to send the money before I send it then am i OK or can they scam me ? This is not going through Ebay they are going to have to trust me .

well they can chargeback the amount... but could do that at any time.....

there was a scam where they would collect an item but pay with paypal then charge back, and you would have no proof that you sent it, so would be out of pocket twice...


bullit

Can you please explain a charge back thanks
