Buyer put money on hold after purchase?!

[D3US]

Why is my money still on-hold, even though the payment was made with family and friends...?

Its against Paypal rules to accept a family / friends payment for selling goods and you risk your Paypal account being limited if you do so.

Paypal sometimes holds and reviews f/f payments to make sure they are not being used to pay for goods/services.

A buyer would not be able to open a Paypal dispute for non-receipt of item OR item not as described as they would have no Paypal buyer protection.

However they can still open a dispute for an unauthorised transaction OR do a chargeback (via their card issuer) and you may well lose as you would have no Paypal seller protection.
