When you sell a product, you need to get paid and how that is accomplished is not always easy

This is where Direct Selling has its advantage as you communicate with the buyer and exchange payment details.

Before we go any further, everyone does need to understand that selling this form of IPTV is not exactly legal, so the avenues of payement are not as extensive as you may think.

Always read the TOS (Terms of Service) with any payment solution you are thinking of using as you will find that selling IPTV is classed as a High Risk category.

PayPal:
Simply put, its illegal to buy and sell IPTV (unless its a legitimate company with agreements for royalties etc)

Bitcoin:
You have no problems with Bitcoin, but not that many people use it as it is not so easy to get

Skrill and others:
Again, like PayPal it is not an area that is safe

Western Union - BACs and similar:
These are slow and cumbersome to setup for a client, so the less hassle they need to experience, the more inclined they are to deal with you

Solutions:
A way too get around all these issues is by setting up a side offer, such as hosting, website membership and so on.
As an example, you may sell VIP Membership for a month or more to your website and include FREE Premium IPTV... All the customer is really then paying for is VIP Membership to your website or forum :)

The important thing to remember is that customers want a quick safe solution and if you ask them to jump in the car, drive to an agent to send you a few dollars, then there is a good chance you will miss out on a sale, as many users will simply find someone else who can trade more easily and you may have noticed that some people asking for subs, do so and specify PayPal or other as its convenient for them.

Record all emails and verify people (only needs to be done once) before you trade, so when (it will happen) a chargeback is initiated, then you have all the information you need to win your case.

Be honest and upfront, so your customers know that IPTV is a grey area, so that way, they will be less inclined to do a chargeback as they have already been forewarned of this issue :)

  1. Avoid Disputes: When dealing with payments related to IPTV (Internet Protocol Television), be cautious. If a customer disputes the payment, claiming it was for IPTV, it could lead to trouble. So, ensure you don’t get into disputes related to IPTV transactions.

  2. Website Sales: If you sell IPTV services through your website, don’t directly add PayPal as a payment option. Instead, consider sending invoices or redirecting customers to another payment platform. This helps keep your PayPal account safe.

  3. New Accounts: If your PayPal account is relatively new, avoid receiving large amounts in the first month. Gradually build up your transaction history to reduce risk.

  4. Multiple Accounts: To further minimize risk, consider using multiple PayPal accounts. If you don’t have many accounts, you can explore online options to purchase them.

  5. Payment Processing Services: Some service providers specialize in PayPal payment processing for IPTV services. You might want to explore these options to ensure smooth transactions.
following these precautions can help protect your PayPal account and prevent any issues related to IPTV payments.
