PayPal scam question

So basically I nearly got scammed over a pair of shoes last night but thankfully didnt and got extra money lmao. Then I was told about this and was wandering if it true.
So, If someone where to "sell" an item, they receive the payment for them and quickly withdraw the money into their bank leaving their pp empty, then the buyer not getting the item, could then file a dispute and make a claim, he would get money from paypal right so no-one loses anything apart from paypal?
im not sure if this is aloud but is a genuine question and am not trying to act out.
thanks

It would probably get taken out of your bank if your balance is 0 or in the negatives, then your bank/paypal will rape you with debt collectors.

Tb to when I was desperate & did this 2 years ago. Nothing happened to me, but don't recommend doing it. Could catch a case if you fuck over the wrong person..

Receiving a payment then putting in your bank then that person charging back? Yes you can do that.

Yes it'll just leave you at a negative balance. If it's a verified PayPal expect a collection company to call you.

oh well, this was ages ago now and got it sorted. thanks for the help tho

I wonder what would happen if to circumvent the collection companies, didn't link any personal info and instead transferred the money to another paypal, then the person chargebacks. Would the money still be in your other account and then you can just ditch the throw-away one?

thats what i thought, do it on two throw-away accounts, then gift the money to another then withdraw but the hardest bit is putting the money in the first place
