A lot of traders want to trade only with verified users. I always decline to sell my leftovers for paypal $ if somone offers it and maybe I'd like to try it but I'd like to see if user is verified or not.
I think its safer to recive money from verified users, so risk of chargeback is lower. Or am I wrong ?

1) First you need somebody's email address...
( Let's use potato@potato.com as an example. )
2) Go to PayPal, and log in
3) Copy and paste this url: https://www.paypal.com/verified/pal=username@emailhost.com
4) Replace "username@emailhost.com" with the person's email address
( In the example, it'd be https://www.paypal.com/verified/pal=potato@potato.com )
5) The resulting page will show whether or not that email is linked to a verified PayPal account.
( It will show potato@potato.com is NOT Verified in bold, red letters. )
:) its a google ,hope this works :)
fu** this doesn't work anymore :(

This is what I've found and probably this is some old method and it doesn;t work anymore, It takes me to https://www.paypal.com/selfhelp/contact/call and I can't see any info regarding verification

so risk of chargeback is lower
There's always a risk of that. But you can ask them to write something like "I agree that I won't ask my money back" (something like that) in the transaction. Not sure if Paypal will allow a chargeback then, but at least you stand a bit stronger then.

If you can't afford to loose items, don't trade outside Steam's native trading system.
There is no way to negate the risks of scammers.

decrease, yes, nullify it, never. Because even well trusted users go rogue every now and then. It's not very common thing but it happens, when someone wan't to leave trading to cash in on his rep. He will make lots of transactions, because he's well repped and then chargeback them all, not worrying he's gonna get banned etc, because as he's quiting he no longer cares. Sadly there is no 100% safe method of PayPal trading, you can always be scammed, you can only lower the risk, but never make transaction risk-free.

no matter what you make them add chargeback is still possible. I've once got scammed a long long time ago selling WoW gold - guy was verified, sent money as a gift, in comment he wrote "I received digital goods and I won't ask for any form of chargeback" - still all he had to do is write to PP support and claim his account was hijacked - all money got charged back.

It's indeed still not super safe, but at least it gives some more security. When someone writes that, he is less likely to ask for a chargeback if he thinks he might not win it and doesn't want to waste his time. Still, someone that really wants to scam, still will do it (as you said).

the thing is - any scammer knows very well taht what he writes there matters nothing at all - PayPal is not securing digital transactions so in 99% cases they will agree with the payer. What you said about someone being less likely to ask for refund works other way as well - scammer is well aware that PayPal will grant him chargeback no matter what he writes in comment section but writing "I will not chargeback" may make seller feel more safe (while in fact he's not safer at all because of this comment section) thus more willing to do a trade ;p
