• On a more serious note - PayPal consult needed
  • If it's a scammer.....PP gives you your $$$ back......so risk is pretty low..... *NM*
    • One caveat to that, be sure to use “goods and services” if you choose “friends and family “ PayPal won’t cover you if scam *NM*
      • Wanted to use F+F vs. G+S - too many spidey senses going off *NM*
        • ...Unless you know the seller personally or have a friend who has done business with them, NEVER PAY WITH F&F..... *NM*
          • Why would a total stranger go out of their way to request that you use F&F, even though they get their money regardless? The scammers will fight to the death trying to sucker you into it *NM*
            • If it’s a large sale the person might not want to pay the fees or they don’t want to get a tax form from PayPal with the government watching everything. Is there another online payment you can do where you are protected? *NM*
              • Buyer can pay the fees leaving the seller with the amount they asked for. There are other payment methods (cash, check, other online) but the scam artists specifically want PayPal F&F because of its "one way" nature...
