Paypal sometimes limit you making lots of f/f payments in case you are using that option to pay sellers against paypal rules.

@kernowlass Thank you for you help BUT I am confused now !
I contacted PayPal messages centre and I told them I want to do trades on Paxful.com (buy and sell Cryptocurrencies ) and I want to use my PayPal account as my payment method with option "friends and family" to send and receive payment from other traders and I don't need PayPal buyer protection because Paxful.com offer me that
I send this :
" I want to buy and sell crypto on Paxful.com
I want to send money with option "Friends and Family"
and receive money with option "Friends and Family"
I don't know the person that I am sending money to
and I understand that I need to send money with "Goods and services" option to get my buyer protection to make sure I don't get scammed
but Paxful.com offer me Buyer protection for my trades
I just asking if it is against PayPal terms to send and receive money from people I don't know with "Friends and Family" option
thanks"
and reply was :
" yes you can send money using "friends/family" but to set expectation that sending personal payment is NOT covered by buyer's protection and at the same time buying cryto isn't covered by buyer protection as well.

If you use your PayPal account to receive payments for the sale of goods or services, or receive donations, you must:
- Pay any applicable fees for receiving the funds.
- Not ask your buyer to send you money using the “send money to a friend or family member”. If you do so, PayPal may remove your PayPal account's ability to accept payments from friends or family members.
Also ...
Its against Paypal rules to accept a family / friends payment for selling goods and you risk your Paypal account being limited if you do so.
A buyer would not be able to open a Paypal dispute for non-receipt of item or item not as described as they would have no Paypal buyer protection.
However they can still open a dispute for an unauthorised transaction OR do a chargeback (via their card issuer) and you may well lose as you would have no Paypal seller protection.
