@fausto74ita    You have 180 days from date of payment to dispute a payment.    A concern is, if you wait to dispute, the seller can make assertions to PayPal about why you wait so long to report Significantly not as described, as a defense and PayPal may rule against you on the premise that this is warranty or buyer's remorse issue since you technically had the item for a while by the time you got back from abroad to report it.    If you file dispute right now, escalate to PayPal asap for them to step in and make a ruling, and you'll have to respond to dispute/requests for information from PayPal and return item in a timely manner as that is one of the requirements in winning a dispute. I believe PayPal gives you ten days from date of ruling for you to return item to provide return tracking number on the case. ... View more

@Atb123    Yes, to both questions but eventually PayPal will ask that a bank account/credit card to be added and confirmed to verify one's account to comply with regulatory requirements and to lift spending, receiving, and withdrawing limits.  ... View more

@Gypsy76    The only time it is free for friends and family payments is when you pay with PayPal balance or bank account to/from PayPal accounts within the US.   Friends and family payments that cross borders (intl) there will be fees of some kind regardless of payment method.   When you send money to a friend or family member who has a PayPal account, one of two things may happen: they may accept or decline the money. If they decline to accept the money, the money (including any fees you were charged) will be refunded.   If payment was accepted and later refunded, needless to say the fees won't be refunded. ...

@dreycoon    As long as you paid online via PayPal (clicked invoice link, then logged into your PayPal account or as guest checkout with debit/credit card to complete payment or even sent a goods and services payment from send & request tab in instead of using the PayPal invoice to pay), you can PayPal dispute. Paid invoices cannot be marked canceled, it will be marked paid automatically and locked in.   If the Invoice was recorded as paid and you paid with payment methods other than PayPal and there is no dispute resolution available for those offline payment methods (ie paper check, cash, bank account to bank account transfer independent of PayPal), then small claims courts will have to be used. Note: if you paid by credit card offline (given that info to the seller to process manually with their merchant credit card processor, then you'll have to contact your card issuer to dispute).   ----- From PayPal Invoices Help Documentation:   Receive online payments Every invoice that is sent out includes an online payment button. Your customers can pay you via PayPal or credit or debit card. They don’t need a PayPal account to pay you. Whichever method they choose, you receive your money into your PayPal account usually in just minutes. You can then spend your money from PayPal or transfer it to your bank.   Record payments If your customer pays by cash, check, or another offline method, you can record the payment on your Manage Invoices page. You can also record a partial payment if your customer has made a deposit or is paying in installments. Each recorded payment appears in the invoice details history along with any note you’ve entered about the payment.   Create a receipt for your customer When your customer pays you through the link on the PayPal invoice, they will automatically be emailed a payment receipt. Occasionally you may receive a payment from your customer other than through PayPal. To give your customer a detailed receipt, first create the invoice and save it as a draft if the invoice is not created already. Choose Record payment from the Action column on the Manage Invoices page. You can print and deliver the paid invoice or choose Share link from the Manage Invoices page to copy an invoice link which you can then send to your customer as a receipt. Be sure to check your local requirements for invoices and receipts.   ... View more

@misaljo    Get official documentation from the USPS with the GPS delivery coordinates, and any info they can provide that verifies the delivery to a church's PO box and weight, file mail fraud report with USPS Postmaster General, police report and report it to ic3.gov   Gather all this information, pdf it all, and give PayPal Customer service to report the seller for seller protection program abuse and ask to upload these documents to PayPal:   To contact customer service for assistance: Log on, click HELP on top menu, scroll down to click CONTACT US, and then scroll down to click CALL US.
