Sending money with the “Friends and Family” function on PayPal: What you need to consider. Buy things and simply pay the money for them online.
You can do this for free using the ‘Friends and family’ feature on PayPal – but it’s not advisable. With this function, sellers avoid PayPal fees. There may be disadvantages for you as a buyer because you have no buyer protection whatsoever. If you do not receive the package and cannot contact the seller, PayPal cannot help you and you lose the money.
