Hey everyone,

I was thinking about getting into middlemanning, but I have a few questions and concerns.

Why did you get into middlemanning?

What are the risks, what happens if you are chargebacked on?

Any other advice/stuff I should know?

Do you think I should?

Thanks for your time!

You guys have chosen some valid middlemen for this gentleman.

I got into middlemanning because (unshamefully) I was looking for a way to gain rep, while helping the community.

To minimize the risk of getting charged back on, bring up a TOS that you can show to PayPal if a dispute case comes up.

Advice is to prepare, ask details beforehand, and respond as quickly as possible so they don't try to find someone else

Is PayPal ok with middlemanning? Or should you just say that they bought the product from you.

Sometimes people want to receive the money directly, other times you can just tell them that you had Terms that they agreed to
But will PayPal be cool with it if
you say that you were a middleman?

Not sure, they won't ask though
If a user pays you in F&F then later charges back they can be penalized as their ToS technically requires it's users to use G&S for goods. So it can almost be beneficial to you to be able to show them disobeying the ToS.

All in all, don't be a retard. Let people know how it's gonna go down before you do anything to avoid any confusion.
Have you ever been chargebacked on? Any other things to be concerned about?
