Hello everyone.

I wasn't sure as to where I should post this thread, if this thread is in the wrong section feel free to point that out to me and move it to where it belongs.

Anyways, I'm creating this thread since I am in need of advice on how I should receive payments online. Recently I have been doing bigger deals with someone over Fiverr and we're now starting to do business outside of Fiverr.

The amount of money for these deals are getting higher and I do not feel very safe doing these deals via PayPal. Seeing the fact that pretty much any payment can be charged back on. Even when you have proof that someone received their goods (things I am selling are virtual goods) and they confirmed it via mail they can charge back by calling their credit card company or bank saying it was a unauthorized payment.

So basicly I am looking for advice on how to receive payments more safely. I was maybe thinking about bitcoin.. but I don't know how I can get him to pay me with bitcoin if he hasn't used bitcoin before (not sure if he has or not).. is there some way he can for example exchange his paypal to btc and have the btc sent to my address? Via some exchange site?

What would you guys recommend on receiving payments more safely?

Thanks,

Ask him to join coinbase, buy his bitcoin there, then send it to you.

Tell them to use http://coinbase.com for Bitcoin exchanges.
But really, if you're doing business and you have proof of your services...
Then they can't charge back. It's not some kind of magical money back button.
They can't claim an unauthorized transaction if it came from the same IP they normally use.
That's assuming you have proof of you actually completing the service. Show PayPal your Fiverr.

Problem is anyone can go to their bank or w/e and say that their account has been compromised.

The best way to go through paypal is by sending an invoice to that persons email, here you can set your terms and conditions of paying the invoice, etc non-refundable, non-disputable. I sold runescape gold once and put this in the terms and conditions and I actually won the dispute, also keep all logs of conversations with the person you are having dialogue with.

So basicly I could have them buy bitcoin over at coinbase and then have them send that bitcoin to my wallet I have at coinbase?

Right, then you can cashout to your bank account (if it's available for your country)

Thank you. So this way I would be out of risk for any charge backs etc. Since btc can not be charged back..
