I've been dealing with PayPal for the past 5 years and the fact I've never been charged back is because I've always dealt with only trusted people. If you use trusted exchangers like xmlgold or trade with reputed members of the forum, chances are very less than the cash will be chargedback. It's not only bitcoins but trading for any digital good/product can be chargedback via PP and hence even ebay had stopped users from selling their ebooks/egift cards and they deleted my listing when I wanted to sell my ebook for PP. Localbitcoins also is a trusted site but you need to deal with trusted buyers and not newbies or people with less reputation.

True that. Deal with a trusted site and try avoiding newbies as much as you can. Your BTCs are safe as long as you trade in smaller amounts with a number of people rather than bulk dealing with an individual. Common sense can do wonders!

I don't think trading in smaller amounts is needed when you deal with a trustworthy user. If you know the user and he has a good reputation on the forum, you can deal an amount as big as 2-3 BTC as well. However, on exchange websites the amount should be small.
