Maybe it might be a good idea to stop taking payments that can be charged back at the customer's will.

Quoted from PinballBulbs:So, it's our fault theft occurs? That seems like a strange way to look at it.
I didn't say that.
You are the one that said you are out $400 and there is nothing you can do about it.
I just offered up a solution to prevent it from happening again.
Maybe a better idea might be for you not to advertise how easy it is to rip you off.
You can't trust anybody, not even relatives.
Money Order is a safe, clean method of payment, and once it's cashed, it's a done deal.
Quoted from tacshose:I had my credit card stolen last month and they charged back McDonald’s food I ate, they just took the whole two week time period and wiped it clean, despite that I told them which charges were true and false.
Probably an honest mistake
The mistake was using a credit card to pay for food at McDonalds. The more you flash that plastic around, the more it is bound to be compromised. Cash is still king for small in person purchases.
Quoted from lancestorm:You tell us how many internet companies you've done business with because all they do are money orders.
PBResource also takes checks from people they trust. But they won't take credit cards and bars customers that they don't feel comfortable dealing with.
Keep those thumbs down coming people, if you have the time between dealing with identity theft and those false charges and scams on your credit cards.
Quoted from lancestorm:It is just the cost of doing business today, and businesses need to expect to cover this as part of their end-cost to consumer. You and I are the ones that end up paying for it and a small business should make sure their % profit covers this scenario occurring.
So that's the answer!
The OP should start charging his honest customers more to make up for what he loses in scams like these.
Well done sir! 
Quoted from Mike_J:Why wouldn't the OP do what every other business does?
He's not running a charity.
Well if he had, he probably wouldn't have started this thread and it would just be business as usual. Lesson learned.
Quoted from Luckydogg420:If they can’t provide an enjoyable purchasing experience, then they don’t deserve my money.
On the contrary I find dealing with PBResource a most enjoyable buying experience. One on one customer service, a very knowledgable staff, quality parts, a 10% discount for orders over $100 (may have something to do with not taking credit cards or paypal), fast delivery, and most of all they trust me the consumer because I pay my bills.
But each person has his own idea what makes an enjoyable purchasing experience.
Quoted from TheLaw:I'm not as old as o-din (is anyone? HEY-O)
I tell ya!
Back in the day we used to have to saddle up our horses and ride 100 miles thru the snow to get our pinball parts. And those vendors only took gold in payment!
Quoted from fosaisu:You’ll be arguing for a return to the barter system by the time this thread resolves. How many LED flashers for a bushel of radishes?
I hope you know how highly I value that bushel of radishes.

Quoted from PinballBulbs:He said he had issues with his significant other
Ah. another case of balls in a vise. Well that explains everything.
Quoted from PoBoyPinball:Is anyone else trying to figure out how to get their wife to order pinball parts for you and install them to?
No, and I try not to think about someone elses wife doing the dirty work for me.
