I am interested on buying an item on Facebook market place. The seller has asked that I pay a holding deposit of £50. She has sent me a payment request. Am I protected if I pay this? I'm worrying it could be a scam.
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.
