How can I tell if I will get purchase protection if I pay an invoice I received?

I received an invoice but I can't tell if it is a goods and services transaction. I just want to make sure I have purchase protection so I don't get scammed. How can I tell?

Goods/Services Payments. (with buyer protection)

However remember buying protection is not a 100% coverall so read up on it so you can risk assess your tranasctions.

1. Invoice or Money Request.
2. Send money > Goods/Services.
3. Paypal.me link (if its a personal account then there should be the option to tick a box to make it a goods/services payment before you submit payment).

Friends/Family Payments.

1. Send money > friends / family (or trusted person).
2. Paypal.me link from a personal account where you don't select the option to make it a goods/services payment.
