Second we call to verify the order. We make sure it's not a little kid using their mom's credit card to order. Third we limit order sizes when using Paypal. I believe $500 is the limit we're willing to risk going through Paypal before we ask for a money order or wire transfer. And last we record every transfer of currency just in case a chargeback happens, or there is a dispute. We're running fine these days. When we first started, that's a different story. Let's just say, I was on the edge of quitting the business because of eBay scammers. Losing 3k in one day isn't fun.
I would love to get a Wikipedia Administrator Accounts as well, let me know where you get these, I have some back links to create. |
