Hey Paypal community!

Is there a way for me to accept future payments as friend and family? I am using a business account paypal and would like to accept some payments as friend and family.

 

Looking forward to your replies!

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' OR 'not as described' as they would have no Paypal buyer protection.
However they can still open an 'unauthorised transaction' OR do a 'chargeback' (via their card issuer) and you may well lose as you would have no Paypal seller protection.

Kudos / Solution appreciated.
