Question: Can friends & family payment get refunded?

[Zachary]

I've personally never done any refunds but can it be done? If so, easily or...?

[Academy Awards]

Yes, it can. Through "Unauthorized transaction". If you paid through your credit card you can chargeback through your bank and there's no way the other user can win it.

But, friends and family can be hard to win.

Of course.
There are two ways people do it.
One is by paying via a vpn and claiming it was unauthorized to PayPal.
The other is disputing via bank if it was paid via a visa directly

I'm assuming if the person wants to scam you, he'd do that and dispute via bank/paypal with a unauthorization claim. So I'm guessing, if I'm the seller, would it be beneficial to send the chat logs of skype or whatever communication platform it may be to defend myself?

PayPal doesn't care about Skype chat logs. Since you have no proof it's them. No matter what. I've had a dispute a year back and found out that myself.

But, there's no hurt in trying. You can't do ANYTHING about a bank chargeback. Also, PayPal will charge you $20 if the person chargeback through bank.

That's why you need to be careful.

Right. No wonder some people here on Marketplace accepts Paypal only from trusted members.

[WeakHands]

Yes , it can.

Maybe when send money via f&f , ask for a note that say "no refund"

Yep, some people claim they have methods to win f/f chargebacks, but using bank cards can really screw someone over.

My partner and I had 2 chargebacks so we lost the money we got plus $40 out of our own pocket. Always make sure that who you are dealing with won't do that.

That would it ideal if you're using your main paypal. I've read that notes can often screw you over when you're using stealth. Hence, by typing stupid stuff on notes can get someone's stealth paypal limited.

Unfortunately PayPal doesn't give a shit.
Got scammed for 70$ and PayPal was like oh well
