Rephrased:   Hello I was wondering if someone sends money using "friends or family" option, can it ever be charged back or disputed? In the past I have sold online game items (Ingame currency and items) for real money. I always give the buyer what he paid for and what we agreed to.  Now a few times the buyer will dispute the charge, deliberately scamming me after I have gave them the item / gold. I literally have no protection because I'm selling an online item, therefore there's no shipping. I'll sell $50 in gold (in game currency to the buyer, and I'll give it to him. Then a few days later he'll dispute it on purpose to scam me because he knows he'll get away. I HATE scammers, and I'm tired of getting scammed.I'm tired of getting ripped off, and losing the items that I worked hard for to get.   So I'm wondering if someone sends me money via friends and family option can it be disputed or charged back? It seems like this is my only option. I'm a honest seller, and I always give the buyer what he wants. I'm tired of getting scammed because paypal always goes with the buyer. So I'm down $50 and they just keep the items I gave them.  I REALLY need to know. So if someone sends money using the option friends and family, can it be disputed?   ... View more

Hello I was wondering if someone sends me money using "friends or family" option, can it ever be charged back or disputed? What if he tries to scam me just to get the money back. Can the money he sent me get charged  back, or can a dispute? I REALLY need to know. Say I sell something to someone, and I'm going first. They may just decide to scam me and dispute the money anyway. Can the money ever be disputed or charged back?   I sold someone an online item before, which required no shipping. I went first, and gave him what he wanted. Later he disputed the money and paypal went on his side, even though he scammed me! I never recieved the item I gave him back. He totally scammed me. It was BS, I got scammed even though I gave him what he wanted. He deliberatly scammed me. Paypal seemed to always go with the buyer even though they can be the scammers too. I REALLY need to know if someone sends you money as a friend or family, can it ever be charged back or disputed. I really need to know! Thanks! ... View more
