So before I sell my account here...(fraud prevention)

[ScubaJ]

Hello All,

First time to Markeedragon, but have sold on eBay before. Ive been reading some of the very knowledgeable posts here about fraud and paypal. Let's see if I have this right...(to not get scammed)

1. If using Paypal/Google Checkout, do not accept payment from a Credit Card, ask for funds available or eCheck. Also request money on Paypal rather then them send it.

2. If using Paypal, give them info but not change the e-mail for 45 days to make sure funds cannot be recalled/disputed. (This would be disclosed before sale) If using GC, can change once funds are received.

3. 48 hours after payment received, move funds from Paypal to bank account.

What other steps should/could I take to make sure I don't get screwed?

What could I do/show that I am not trying to screw anyone?

Thanks in advance!

I'm thinking of an effective method. Once you request funds, and they pay, you can give them the username/password. But physically mail them the SQ&A and other information, to assure that it's not just a "virtual goods" transaction. This makes it safer for the seller.

Could somebody answer his questions?
