Buyer protection vs friends and family for online lessons

I'm buying online lessons over zoom, when sending money the buyer protection option is enabled by default, does it protect me for buying an online lesson delivered on a video call?

 

Should I select the friends and family option to avoid charging the seller?

 

I am paying an hourly rate, how much is the fee they would have to pay?

Hi zma31, 

 

Thank you for contacting the PayPal Community Forum, and welcome as a new member! 

 

The Family/Friends option on PayPal is to be used between family, and friends as it describes. It is intended to send money as a gift, or to split lunch bills, and there is no Buyer Protection applied to these transactions. 

 

As you are purchasing a service, please use the Goods/Services funding option.
