If they say they will only accept friends/family then you buy elsewhere surely?

It clearly states when you go to make a friends/family payment that there is 0 buyer protection so if you go ahead the risk is yours.

Thanka again,

yes I have written confirmation, he wrote : ""but only if he told you that you had to pay using the friends/family option.""

I shall use the ''report option'', i.e if I can find it in the myriad of paypal site complexities.[ The site seems to have all, except really help genuine customers in my humble opinion] - support agents are not there , phone is a 'robot' , so is the chat . The whole Paypal system is like: don't bother us please. ... I think I am very lucky to come across some human form here on this forum , at least ... 🙂
and I will also contact my Credit card coy. (Mastercard) and see if I can get anything out of this mess. The amount is not huge (just 50 euros) but the bitter feeling inside .....hmmm.

Thanks again ! & let me see how far I come

  1. ya but would  the likely outcomes if he does advertise only accepting F&F payment only  does it open a dispute and possibly a charge back ? also does that include digital goods ? like paying for service then get blocked after the payment ? i understand it is me who agreed to his conditions but the seller set them with the intent to scam ! am really confused cause every1 only accepting 
  2. f&f PAYMENT  for digital goods
