How Do I tell if Payment received was paid with Friends and Family or Goods and Services?

I received a payment but do not know if it is Friends and Family or Goods and Services.

Thanks!

If there is no address to send an item to and you were not charged a fee to accept the payment then it would be friends/family BUT if they sent using tha to option be careful .....

Its against Paypal rules to accept a family / friends payment for selling goods and you risk your Paypal account being limited if you do so.

A buyer would not be able to open a Paypal dispute for non-receipt of item OR item not as described as they would have no Paypal buyer protection.

However they can still open a dispute for an unauthorised transaction OR do a chargeback (via their card issuer) and you may well lose as you would have no Paypal seller protection.
