Seems like your new to PayPal. Most of us here already know Paypal should be deep down in the shit list here.

Paypal is safe for what your thinking. There is alot of scam, wouldn't trust your client.

On the other hand if he is sending it YOU the payment FIRST, withdraw the funds to your bank account. Once the money is in the bank than, tran the website.

Other than that. USE escrow.com

Click to expand...

Its written that it take 5-7 days to succesfully complete the withdraw...it's long.

It would look kinda akward to wait 5 days before giving away the domain.

Could I use Ebay as an escrow?

I could create an auction and my client would go and win the item.

I really dont want to get scammed. I just dont understand why, when the funds are in my paypal account, I sould worry?

Can my client contact Paypal and say tell them that I scammed him and they will ban my account and stuff?

they can always pay via paypal using a CC and do a charge back on the CC. be careful , use escrow.

You can also check out Moneybookers....They are a great alternative to Paypal and they also have an escrow service.

Because Paypal allows chargebacks on digital items (ie. domain names) And if you transfer the domain and the buyer is a scammer, he will do a chargeback and Paypal WILL give it to him. Paypal does NOT guarantee ANY digital items. This is written in their Terms Of Service.

There are TONS of threads about people stealing domains here, on other forums, and on Google.
