So, the fraud must know not only the paypal pass, but also the mail one. Hope this helps ;) PS: Great themes! :P You could let the buyer download the theme after clicking on a link sent via mail.

You might get some ideas here: http://www.paypalsucks.com/ however, with non-tangible goods, you are in a very difficult situation. Even sellers with tangible goods are forced to jump through hoops: http://www.paypalsucks.com/paypal-seller-protection-policy.shtml Sadish,

You can not make genuine people wait for 45 days to get the theme. Initially when I did not have the automatic delivery system built in, I used to manually send the theme files by email., but most people want to get their hands on the theme immediately. I think one possible solution is to send the theme to the email address they used for the paypal. I think even though if the fraud has gained access to the victim's paypal account, they still might not have access to the victim's email account [Unless people use the same password everywhere]. isn't it ? @ru4real,

Have you considered using Google Checkout? I really like the looks of their program. It’s so frustrating that the innocent party always seems to be the one who loses the most.

It has happened to me a couple of times. Sometimes it could be because someone stole the other person's credit card. and as far as I know, Paypal does not protect you if you are selling intangible goods. Yes.

How can someone steal someone else's paypal id and password and shop themes with it? How would it be handled if he buys some service from Google or some big shots? Has this happened?
