PayPal help please!!!

I insist on Friends & Family option and if that's not used request the balance be paid.

Which is the exact opposite of the policy on the Facebook N'Porium so I'm surprised is not the same for the classified ads on here?   I guess it's all about giving the buyer some degree of protection should the deal go bad and there is a dispute or whatever.

On FB the requirement is to include the Paypal G&S fees and the postage in the total price, though obviously there could be some variation in the final amount if for example it's a "best offer" deal and/or maybe international postage

Whats up with not using 'Buyer Protection', for a small fee of just 3.2% is it worth taking any risk?

If you sell something on the NGF facebook page you HAVE to include that in the price of the item you are selling, which I 100% agree with as it covers both parties!

With all due respect, I don't think you've read the entire thread.

I have.  But my point was why use the 'Friends & Family' option, when it is saver to use the buyer protection option!

Because I'm paying Ross for his 3D printing. I know, from what has happened previously, that I don't need 'buyer protection', as he has shown that he's prepared to stand by his products and resolve issues.

My PayPal doesn't have the wording 'Sending to a friend or family', this is what is troubling me.

You only see the option if you decide to send money to someone without them sending you an invoice or request. Try getting their email address and sending using the "Send and Request" option at the top of the page. Then type in the amount and on the next page the "Sending to a friend or family" option should appear.

And @Newportnobby should know better re friends and family as per tanks rules!!

@Only Me Sorry, but I've never been aware of any such rule And maybe @Tank would not like to lose the commission I always pay on selling through the N'Porium as I would just cease selling.

I do insist on using it on the Facebook N'porium group, as it has completely stopped the complaints from people who were getting problems.  It saves me a lot of headaches, and makes the group a lot safer.  I have noticed that I haven't made it a rule on here, but will look into it.  To be honest, there is never any trouble on here.  *touch wood*

However, ultimately, it's between the buyer and seller what they do.  I'm just providing the platform for them to communicate the sale.
