Definitely - professional buyers will find all kinds of ways - just have to be on top of the measures in place to "protect" you as a seller...never 100% but why give the buyers power off of eB....

Since we are on this topic about direct paypal to paypal payment, I have a question... Is there no protection against a scammer like a money back guarantee or something?....

So should we start asking everyone who does a transaction outside of EBay if they are paying with Paypal balance or CC?

It would be really nice because cc transactions are way more risky than pp balance payments

I have used reserve paypals on ebays that had diff names with no issue but again the biggest key to any stealth setup is weight on the bridge. Depending how you are going to use the acct makes a big difference on what the acct needs to be successful. Example you use the account to sell 10 1 dollar items not too particular but if your acct sells 600 iphones it better be hella strong

Let me know if selling .99 cent items on newer account then selling higher prices still work without getting flagged to call in etc.

I heard that USA accounts have this problem. RED FLAGS.
