It must suck to live in another country...
Here in the USA I have made thousands of transactions with Paxum in the short time it has been available. I have never had such a problem. But then all of the people I deal with are reputable people that also deal with reputable people. Even when I deal with people from other countries they are reputable. I look them up and find out who they are...
Say someone wants to buy a service from me and they live in Romania. The service is going to cost $1000. I tell them I am going to wait 2 weeks for the funds to "clear". I don't spend the funds. They sit in the account. While they sit I check out the people that sent them. There have been occasions where I didn't like what I had found and I reversed the transaction + $20 to $100 as a gesture to say, sorry for holding onto your cash, but this is the situation and it just doesn't work for me.
In some cases I might barter services with individuals that have something worth while to offer me just so I don't have to deal with possible fraud...
