Hello Guys, I'm sorry to bother you... but I got nearly got scamed not long ago (4-5)days had past since then. I wanted to sell one of my game accounts, since I don't play with it, because I simply don't like the game anymore and there is no time. So, here it goes..:
- One guy added me in skype I can give you he's email adress and skype if needed to let you know who he is. I'm new to the whole selling account thing, but I already sold one of my account and I got positive feedback from an honest man :)... Sorry I got carried away, continuing with the story- So, the guys asked me to provide him my "accountname" and "password" and I replied to him that he has to pay first. He said but I need to check the account if everything is fine, and I did let him to enter once to check it out (!ON MY OWN RISK!).. but nothing really happened, except he took away 50 gold from it.. and when I asked him, why he took the gold he replied to me, not to worry about anything because he will buy the account. But he also wanted my services as a middleman, and I was okay with that. After some time he sent money though paypal and I gave him the account and passoword. Then I was his middleman, bought gold for him and ect.. with money coming from different Paypal accounts, but not he's.. And then I started to get a little bit worried.. Everything was fine at that momeny, untill I woke the other day and logged into my Paypal account to see that I GOT NEGATIVE BALANCE(- alot of money) I already had money from selling other stuff and when I saw that a little heart attack striked ! :D Because He, and he's friends Reversed all the money, from which I bought gold and the money for the account... Basically everything :/ I didn't see that coming because, as I said - "NEW TO THE WHOLE SELLING ACCOUNTS THING" I tried to contact him again to talk about that, but he didn't reply for 2 days and then He blocked me in skype.... Thank god I had a way to get my account back...

I would be really happy if you could give me some tips on how to protect my payments and not get scammed again.

if your seller. get buyer send 0.01$ and ask him to email u with his paypal email. if he cant most likely stolen paypal.
