So in 2 days i will sell some in game stuff for money in paypal. I m new to paypal since in my country in not so common to use it. I've heard about refund scams that you can get when you receive money.

 

How do i receive that money so the buyer can t refund the money, what's the differance between send to a friend/buy goods and what s the differance when you receive the money (how does the friend one look and how is the other one looking).

Its against Paypal rules to accept a family / friends payment for selling goods and can lead to your Paypal account being limited.


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' (if they funded that Paypal payment via their credit card) and you would probably lose as you would have no Paypal seller protection because you accepted payment that way.

There is no paypal seller protection for virtual / digital items, you can sell them but at your own risk unfortunately.
