paypal friends and family for business payment risk
The actual problem
Sellers accepting F&F lose seller protection and create unrecoverable disputes.
Do this
- Policy: Goods and Services only for any order you will fulfill.
- Train support never to request F&F “to save fees.”
- Refund/re-invoice F&F payments before shipping.
- Track fee savings vs dispute loss — usually fees win.
Tools for this job
- PayPal fee docs
