Paypal will take back money from your account if the person that paid you says you did not send them the correct item, or did not perform the proper service. is there anyway to protect ourselves from this? i sent someone a brand new item, they said it was used just to scam me and took their money back, and i wont get it back. Can you make sure there are NO REFUNDS when receiving money on paypal? im out 300 bucks now because of a scamer. Crazy to think people can just do this all day and make a living
