    Dont transfer to people you dont trust, and dont trade more than you are willing to lose. If someone you trust does scam you, dont trust them again.

    Or don't accept money on paypal. Someone metioned that money sent for a "Product" can be disputed, but if it is traded for a "Service" it can not. Can someone confirm if this is true?

    I trade with PayPal very succesfully. If two people trust each other it can be safe. But I would agree that not with people you dont trust, and not amount your not willing to lose if things go south.
