tulo 3,333 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Paypal is the worst service in the history. They should burn in hell. If they get accounts hacked, it's either the user's fault or Paypal's fault, so I don't see why the seller has to pay. I did the same a few years ago, my account went negative of -500€ and I never paid them. They hired a guy who was blackmailing me to get the money but I didn't care. They never sent official documentation asking for money, so they can't for the law ask them back. After a while the guy stopped blackmailing me, and I opened another account. Fu*k paypal.

will4star 1,004 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 DO NOT sell any crypto currency on eBay via PayPal!!! If you read PayPal's terms and conditions it clearly states that seller protection applies to many things, but NOT to intangible forms of currency , digital money, or anything that represents money such as vouchers. It doesn't say crypto currency specifically, but it would most definitely fit this description. So, if you choose to sell on eBay for payment via PayPal, be aware that 1. You are not protected as a seller,so not entitled to a refund, and 2. There are hundreds of hackers, criminals, and cheats out there who have many stolen accounts (phishing), looking to fleece people like just you. So be aware, or better still, stay away.

I agree, but I divide resources into those that are appropriate for: Day traders (Twitter / Discord / Exchange Charts) Swing traders (Reddit / XRPChat / Quorra / Official Ripple Twitter Account(s)) Long-term investors (XRPChat / Official Ripple Website collateral / Quorra / Podcasts - Interviews / Bloggers / Reddit / books) Of course, my favorite are resources for the LT investors, because I like to read and really absorb things.

I would never even consider buying or selling cryptos on anything but a well-known exchange. Maybe that wasn't so easy 3 years ago but now it is. So where do you buy your coins from?

In this case shouldn't ripple as a company offers investigation in case a lot of parties / websites / people file a claim for that wallet? There should be some sort of control?!
