The best practice for users trying to transact with a payment method with a high risk of losing funds is discussed in this section.
### Revolut via payment links
In a Revolut payment, a `@revtag` is usually exchanged in the chat and can be verified in the payment history of the app making proof of payments easy.
However, payment links, which have the format https://revolut.me/p/XXXXX, don't contain recipient address information.
In a dispute, there's no recipient address reference and both buyer and seller could cheat. The payment link could be redeemed by an unknown third party complicit with either buyer or seller.
Therefore, insist on receiving the `@revtag` when making a payment with Revolut to avoid these risks. The `@revtag` can also be received as a link. This link would look like this: https://revolut.me/@revtag.
### Paypal
Paypal is one of the widely used fiat payment methods. However, with <a href="https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/ua/buyer-protection">PayPal buyer protection policy</a>, buyer can do fraudulent action by creating a refund request in PayPal after the trading process in RoboSats is finished and therefore taking both fiat and bitcoin all by themselves.
