ok this was my first situation with paypal on a pinball machine accepting paypal. Buyer came to my house and inspected pinball machine and decides he wants it. Bank is closed so he cant get money out. Asks if he can use paypal and gift it as F&F. I say ok as long as i can watch you send it. ( he used my computer) I make sure he isnt paying with a credit card and used funds in his account to pay for it. I log in and see the money and accept it and deposit it into my bank account.

How can i be screwed on that transaction? I thought the only way to get a refund on a F&F gift is to reverse it with the credit card company. If he didnt use a CC he cant charge it back correct?

Its a "gift" through friends and family there are no goods to be faulty. So thats not a worry, cant say bad item when there was no item to begin with. Also there is no "buyer" for paypal to side with.

in my situation above how can one be ripped off? If it is possible i would like to know. I have read through all of vids guide and the only negative he states about F&F gift is that they can charge back with a CC. Well if i watched him send it to me and he did not fund it with a CC then according to vids guide i cant be ripped off correct?
