Goods and Services

Hello, I am thinking of selling some of my makeup on a forum page. And I was wondering what the benefits are of using goods and services? How will this protect the seller? 

 

Thank you!

As opposed to what?

 

If you mean instead of using friends and family payments then there is no choice.

 

Its against paypal rules to accept friends / family payments when selling goods and if paypal find out your paypal account may well be limited.

Paypal do not like sellers to use their site and not pay for the service that they provide.

 

Secondly whilst a buyer can't open a dispute if they pay using the friends / family option they can still do a chargeback via their card company if they funded their paypal payment via a card OR they can file an unauthorised transaction. If they win then you have to refund them but you would not be reimbursed by paypal as you would have no seller protection as you lost it when you accepted a f/f payment.
