Screw Paypal. Even Escrow is not 100% safe due to whois protection scam - scammer can turn it on and claim they never got your domain and you can't do shit.

Only accept bank wire. If they won't give you money upfront then let them pay after but ONLY if you trust them or if they have a public reputation that is untarnished and would suffer if they ripped you off and you ratted on them.

for bigger money it is better to not use pp, I read lots of stories when business went bankrupt b/c of this payment processor

Go business next time before large transactions.

I transfer about 2-3k+? with paypal, never had any problems since I am in business.
Before I was premiere I had shit happening to me all the time.

I agree, everytime withdraw all money ASAP.

(Maybe you should create another Paypal account. When you get paid, you send the money to your main account)

Wasn't your PP account Verified?
