The seller of an item that I want to purchase from a classifieds ad told me that he does not want me to pay him for the item with his PayPal account because he is currently having technical problems with his PayPal account.  So he wants me to pay using his friend's PayPal account.  Should I still purchase the item using is friend's PayPal account?  If I pay using his friend's PayPal account do I still have buyer protection?  He may not want me to use his PayPal account because he may have a seller dispute going with PayPal, and PayPal may have blocked his use of his PayPal account for that reason.  Thanks for any replies.  ...
