Sending payments

[Sineadf149]

Hi, I’m buying a ticket off someone. I’ve sent a payment using ‘seller protection’ option. They have now told me they can only receive money from ‘friends and family’. The money is still pending from my account. What will I do?

Its against paypal rules for someone who is 'selling' to accept payment via the friends/family option.

Tickets are a great scam, they tell you to pay via f/f and then you never hear from them again.

If a seller is asking you to pay using that option then DO NOT BOTHER AND BUY FROM ANOTHER SELLER OR SOME SITE THAT IS SAFER.

If the funds are pending then is there a cancel option? Is so then cancel and if not if it remains pending it will time out at 30 days post payment.
