I posted on facebook marketplace that I was looking for a certain car part. A guy contacted me with the part I was after. He gave me his friends paypal address as he didn’t have paypal. The address was in America (i’m in UK). I questioned it but he said his friend was in America but would bank transfer him the money. I paid goods and services but this transaction just doesn’t feel right. am i being scammed? am i protected by paypal?
That depends on many factors all listed in Paypals buyer protection policy for you to read so you can risk assess your transactions. Legal (bottom right of Paypals pages) > user agreement > buyer protection.
