A Question about PayPal Friends/Gift versus the 3%

[DeepseekerADS]

Commercial use of PayPal required the PP fee or 3%. With that fee you have PayPal protection.

Am I paranoid (well, yes) in thinking that if we use Friends & Family, or gift - we do NOT have that protection?

Yes, no protection with friends and family

hopefully you would have known your family and friends enough before proceeding. But thanks for the question I was curious myself.

 

[DeepseekerADS]

Everything I've dealt with thus far has been straight up.

What I was concerned about was that perhaps I might trust too much in the future.

There is no protection using family and friends to get around the fee when selling..
