    Hi Folks,
    Are there any obvious scams regarding Paypal?
    Once a seller receives money into their account is there any way the buyer a reverse the transaction or anything like that?

    Cheers,
    Steve.

    The buyer can reverse a payment, but need to contact Paypal to do it and they will investigate. They will contact you if this happens so you'll have a chance to defend yourself. The seller can't just reverse a payment without telling anyone.
    A chargeback by the seller will be contested by Paypal too, though if there is enough evidence for the card company to proceed then Paypal can't stop it. This should only effect a bad seller though.

    The biggest worry I'd have would be receiving a payment from a stolen/cloned card. I'm not sure how (if) Paypal protect the receiver from this kind of fraud. They do offer Seller Protection I think, like their Buyer Protection, so this might be it. That would probably have a limited value, though so very large transactions may be exempt from cover.
