When accepting money through Paypal for World of Warcraft products or services you have to be careful of how you are selling and to who. Paypal is the payment method most people use when it comes to online transactions, but the downside is that paypal does not support the sales of Virtual Goods(intangible). This means when we are selling gold, accounts, services or anything else virtual that you are at risk of getting scammed and paypal doesn’t support it so you are pretty much screwed.
Paypal is never safe when accepting money for the sales of virtual goods. So when using paypal to receive money keep in mind that it can get recalled or disputed for up to 6 months later. There is no 100% safety guarantee ever when using paypal to sell virtual goods.
When accepting money on paypal it is better to send the person an invoice instead of having them send you the money. With the invoice you can add a note onto the sale where you can put a note saying they are buying intangible goods and that nothing will be shipped. This may help you if your transaction gets disputed.
<span style="font-size: 14pt">Here is the note I use on my invoices: </span>
Note: By payment, you signify understanding and acceptance with the following. This is payment for virtual goods and is nonrefundable and not protected by paypal's buyer protection policies. By payment, you acknowledge receipt of goods and satisfaction. You waive right to dispute payment on grounds of receipt, quality, description or any other reason.
I attach this note to every invoice I send. It tends to scare away the scammers, so it helps to know someone is legit and it could help you in a paypal dispute.
When accepting money through paypal also make sure you are doing other things to ensure your buyer is legit. Call there phone number and talk to them. Use the area code number to look up what area its coming from and then see if it matched the information on their paypal account. Matching up information is always important because it shows the person is using their own account and the account there using is not stolen. Scammers are so willing to give you any amount of money because they aren’t using their own paypal account.

The benefit of paypal is that when buying something if the deal goes bad or something goes wrong then you have the option of disputed the transaction and have a chance of getting your money back.
So to sum it up, there is no way to guarantee that you will be safe when accepting payment on paypal for WoW products or services. There are only small things you can do to increase your odds of winning the dispute if there is one. Remember though that avoiding payment from stolen paypal accounts is the most important part. Paypal will always refund money to owners of stolen accounts so in this case you don’t have a chance of winning the dispute.
