I am just pointing out that if you want to sell through ebay (which i do not recommend at all), always check the address where you should send the funds to. If it is activated by https://bithomp.com/explorer/r9LFPRCT4jRHqeHcgiRGjGMHWkA76nE4Fb, do not sent! But anyways, thanks for your great reply and help in building this community.

tulo 3,033 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 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. 1 Benchmark reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 2 SBerre and RipplePiercing reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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?

Now i get why a lot of the oldtimers do not come here anymore. You are right! That wallet seems to be a hacker. 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?!
