I know that there is no way to open a dispute for a family and friends but can the sender ask the bank to cancel the transaction?
I mean if he adds funds to his paypal then uses Family & friends then ask the bank to cancel the transaction.
Or any other way to get scammed if I am the seller.

if you are selling,you should ask him to send fund using goods and services.
if he tranfers fund from his bank account to Paypal and then pay you ,he can file unauthorised transaction with his bank

There are more ways than one to scam a seller,thats why it is important to read paypal buyer and seller protection policy.
nothing will protect you from item not as described and the buyer returned a box of rocks.

There no safe way to sell virtual items and receive payment with PayPal. You do so at your own peril.
Using friends/family for purchases is against PayPal policies and eventually can get your account limited.
There are ways a sender of family/friends can get money back--just claim it was unauthorized. You, the seller, lose--and get a $20 chargeback fee.

Then you PayPal account will be negative and your account will be restricted until you add money. If not paid, the debt will be sold and a debt collector will come after you for payment.
