Quick question re Paypal

This is not an eBay sale.

If someone sends me an invoice through Paypal for goods and then they don't turn up, am I still able to do an INR through Paypal?

I made sure that I wasn't sending the payment as a gift (at least I don't think I did!).

Thanks.

    As long as you pay through goods you have full buyer protection, the same as ebay so if it doesn't turn up you'll be covered.

    The transaction details will show whether it's a gift or goods payment.
  • Thanks for your replies.

    Looking at the Transaction Details, I can't see any mention of the word 'gift'. Under the 'Payment for' section it says:-

    Payment for: Invoice No 0001

    Clicking on the 0001 takes me to the invoice details which contains the item description and quantity etc. so I'm guessing this is not a gift payment.
