Friends and family payments are considered "gift" payments and does not come with purchase protection dispute rights in case the other party does not send your item. It's a red flag when is someone is asking you to send as friends and family payment in exchange for goods and services. 

 

The only thing you can report on a friends and family payment is Unauthorized Payment meaning someone made the payment with your account without your knowledge/permission, but if you logged in and made payment yourself, PayPal will deny your claim.


Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
