How much did you ask for and how much did you receive. If they're the same amount then it was F&F, lower then it was G&S due to PP taking their percentage.Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.0

It all’s spends what you are afraid of. A G and S payment can be safer, even though the recipient pays fees as if any claim is opened it can be defended easily. However if a scam buyer opens a claim with their bank for fraudulent use of a card then a seller cannot defend it with a f and f payment as defence relies entirely on proof of posting to the buyers address as given by PayPal, and posted within 7 days. A f and f payment does not have a confirmed address so the defence does not work.mauly_2 said:Thank you I requested £350 and received £350…..

obviously only a dedicated scammer will go the bother of risking losing their bank account for a fraudulent claim.
A friends and family payment is usually the sign of a scam seller, not a scam buyer.
