I'm sure everyone on this site who does business often have been scammed. I got scammed because i was dumb ASF and did business with a guy from youtube. The guy was selling a 2016 cape account and i blindly sent him the money because i wasn't thinking because i really wanted the cape. I sent him the money and he blocked me on skype. It was only 70 dollars so i wasn't too mad. It's whatever. I code so i was like ok. I can make that back easily. It's whatever lol. It wont happen again though because im extra cautious now when doing business.

Well that's good. Everyone learns out of their mistakes
it was only "$70" uhm ye anyway, hope you bought a legit cape then from other users. x

 

[Louwtjie]

Yeh. I definitely learned 2 things. 70 dollars for a minecon cape account. Too good to be true and don't do business with people from youtube lol.

That's true, I saw another user got scammed with someone selling a 15K yt also Felt so bad for him

I've been scammed $70 trying to buy an account off a Youtuber and was charged back on $130. At least I've managed to win both cases

On MCM directly? No.

Anvilnode sales? Yes plenty. I think we spend roughly $200/month in chargeback fees.

$20 = 1 Chargeback fee
so you lose 20 cases a month? Is there something wrong with your TOS? cause thats alot. and $200 is a lot of bloody money.[DOUBLEPOST=1508458054][/DOUBLEPOST]

There's not much you can do about VISA credit card chargebacks done through banks directly. This is because the customer's bank decides wether they will get their money back or not. Why would a bank not side with their own customer?

Our ToS is fine. It's just not worth fighting them anymore.

Yep I've gotten scammed a couple times now , but the scammers were completely idiots.
When I first joined this random guy who I didin't know was exit scamming asked for a loan of $20 so I gave it to him but in G&S. Turns out he exit scammed but I made a chargeback and won it so I got the last laugh. Second time was for bitcoin around $15 they did a chargeback even when I sent the bitcoin and they got banned. Third time I was buying btc the guy was sketchy the whole time not knowing rates , amount of btc etc. He said I could send in g&s so of course I did , and of course he scams me but I initiated a chargeback which he think he won but I was the one who won so fuck yea Last time was when this guy was on mcm begging for donations for his dog surgery and I sold some btc and donated $70 ( was going to donate $110 but he probably felt bad knowing he was scamming) and I lost the $70 :/

oh my gosh, And here i am feeling bad about $2.
I heard the story about the guy begging for money about the dog, I'm so sorry you fell for that scam, as an animal lover myself I would most probably fell for it aswell. atleast you won a couple of times. and know better thanks for sharing!

Was it this one? http://www.mc-market.org/threads/172736/ R.i.p

Got scammed for a few hunderds dollars worth of files
Short story, our manager was a complete douche and leaked a LOT of shit
(My CO was/is a bit too trusting, gave him a lot of access to shit)

I get a bunch of chargebacks from my resources, and like Ajdin said, after a while, it just becomes pointless to fight.
Although, I get nowhere near the number of chargebacks AnvilNode does.

I sell a lot of resources (Not all on this site), and after people try to scam a lot and chargeback them, and you keep winning, paypal will support you as its the same type of fight. As long as you prove you are a legit seller, they will side on you for most fights.

Yes but over like $1, its too much hassle.
I get like 1-5 a week.
Although it went down recently, same with my sales.
