Hello,

I am having a question when i am selling to this person an item, the person suggested to send me the money through friends and family. I accepted that. But I am worrying if that person will be able to chargeback the amount of money that he sent me through paypal friends and family. I heard this is the case with his card issuer and paypal doesn't involve in this. Please let me know what do you guys think I should do.

Thank you and have a great blessed holidays!!

Generally disputes can't be filed on F&F payments but its known to happen, even chargebacks and sometimes successfully even if it is really unauthorized. Stolen info can be used to pay you but the point is to get free merchandise. I wouldn't go ahead with the transaction. Red flag written all over.  Most buyers would want purchase protection.


Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
