Hello. I have a question about payment. I should send the money for delivery to the seller. But he says to send it to him as a friend in person because he does not have an account as a seller. Now I wonder if I have any security if there is any fraud. they do not send me the package I ordered.

All account types can 'sell' and accept payments if in a supported country, if he can accept friends/family payments then he can accept goods/services payments as well so he is not telling the truth.

A friends / family (or gift payment) is intended as a transfer of funds from family or friends to one another. For this reason, there is no processing fee when payment is made with bank or PayPal balance.
However as it is a gift payment, there is also no Buyer protection as no goods or services should have been exchanged.

If he was not a close mate or family member you should never use that option as it enables the seller to evade paying his paypal fees and negates your buyer protection at the same time.
