Receiving a PP F&F payment as a seller

[Osita1978]

Hi. I am going to be selling an item to a buyer who wants to use Paypal Friends and Family menthod, and the funds are already in his account. If I accept this payment method, am I at any risk for a an attempted chargeback from the buyer? I dont want to get scammed.

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.
