Receiving money

[Darkmage]

Hi there! I'm new to Paypal & was just wondering if it's safe to receive money? See, my friend doesn't have a Paypal account so he asked if I can receive the money for him via Paypal & then send it to him via bank transfer. Is there any way someone could request their money back on PayPal after I've withdrawn it? I don't wanna be get scammed lol

It's possible - a sender could report an unauthorized transaction, then PayPal gets involved, does a review and makes a decision as to refund the sender's money or not.   Personally, I would not get in between a friend and a transaction such as this - why can't your friend open his own PayPal Account or find another way to get the money without getting you involved, but that's between you two.

He can't register with his debit card for some reason. But you make a valid point. It's not worth the headache. Thanks for the response.
