I'm creating paypal buttons and within Customize advanced features, there is the following option, Do you need your customer's shipping address? If choose "No". My item will be considered as "Service"?.
If I'm selling service and a fraudulent buyer opens a dispute on paypal, could i be scammed?
Thanks.

Hi Plusgamer -
Welcome to the Community! Happy to answer your questions. 🙂
While we truly hope that you never run into any fraudulent customers, services are not actually disputable through PayPal at this time. So if they were to open a case and you're providing a service it should be closed as it's not eligible for our Purchase Protection.
However, this also applies to our Seller Protection. So if your buyer goes to their funding source to dispute the payment (rather than through us), we'll ask you for tracking showing delivery of an item to a physical address. Since it's a service and that isn't possible, you would most likely wind up losing. If it's a credit card chargeback we may be able to try and dispute it on your behalf, however we don't control the outcome of those cases. And the money would be recovered from you during that dispute period.
Hope that answers your questions, please let us know if there's anything else we can help with!
