Is requesting money going to be considered "goods and services" or "friends and family"?

Make sure you don't use the friends/family option for paying or receiving payments for goods or services or you may risk losing buyer or seller protection and account limitations.

Goods/Services Payments.

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.
