Hi Regi1, 

 

Thank you for contacting the PayPal Community Forum! 

 

The Family/Friend payment method is a gift payment option, and is not intended for the purchase of Goods or Services. As there is no Seller Protection applied to this payment method, we would be unable to cover you in the result of a claim or chargeback. More information on the Seller Protection Policy can be found here - https://www.paypal.com/smarthelp/article/what-is-the-seller-protection-policy-and-what-items-aren%E2...
