Fees

[Cityman]

Hi, basically I'm sending a package to Germany from the UK. Will I pay a fee when recieving money into my account if the buyer does it as a 'friend' rather than a business?

1. Its against Paypal rules to sell and accept a friends / family payment, it can lead to your Paypal account being limited.

2. You need to accept it as goods / services and pay the fee.

3. If you accept f/f its true a buyer can't open a Paypal dispute as they would have no buyer protection BUT they can do a chargeback via their credit card if they funded their payment that way and you would lose as you would have no seller protection.

That is certainly food for thought, much appreciated.
