If a seller gives me as a buyer a paypal account which is not his account to make a transfer through goods&services-does it still entitle me for a "buyer ptotection" if,god forbids" something goes wrong after I make the payment ?

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.

Thanks for your advice. I read it properly and couldn't find anything in relation to whether a buyer is entitled to protection in case the seller gives him Paypal account which is not his acciunt and the buyer make a transfer to that account and after that something goes wrong

It turned out that the Paypal account email which was sent to me is the seller's business account and although I got the full name and address of the seller , yet the account is not on his name, but on his business/company name . I couldn't find any reference to such an issue in relation to "buyer  protection" and whether I'm entitled to such a protection or not, if I make a transfer to his business account and something goes wrong after the transfer is made.
