What can I do to protect myself if I sell tickets on PayPal G&S and the buyer does a chargeback?

Hello everyone,

 


So long story short, I have two tickets to sell for an upcoming concert.  I’ve been researching the safest ways to sell them, and it seems like PayPal G&S is the way to go.  However, I’ve read horror stories about buyers doing a chargeback, despite the seller having an email from TicketMaster confirming the successful transfer.  The real horror is that PayPal seems to favor the buyer in these situations, from what I’m hearing.  How can I protect myself against this?  What do I need to before, during and after the sale to ensure I’m not defrauded by an unscrupulous buyer who wants free tickets to an expensive show?  Thanks so much!

That depends on many factors all listed in Paypals seller protection policy for you to read so you can risk assess your transactions.
Legal (bottom right of Paypals pages) > user agreement > seller protection.
