[Discussion] How to protect yourself as a currency exchanger

I have a fair bit of BTC and want to get into the flipping game, as I used to do this on other forums, but the never ending stream of chargebacks and carded Paypals is definitely keeping me back. How do you protect yourself when flipping online?

Use something like localbitcoins maybe?

I don't think you can secure yourself, except for looking at trading history, reputation and stuff like that. Even so, reputable members have scammed and disappeared in the past.
