~BINGO~ - 2016-05-23 10:10 AM I sold a saddle a while back and shipped USPS. It was a huge pain in the butt. The buyer gave an extra $75 for shipping and insurance. (I've never shipped a saddle, so I was unaware of costs) it ended up being quite a stretch more then that. But I paid it because I knew the saddle would make it to her then. Insurance is a MUST. I'm not a big PayPal person. But does the "friend" option make the money available to her quicker? We had purchased a large (several $1,000's) item. Paid via PayPal. The item never came. We called MANY times to just cancel the order and refund us. We apparently didn't do enough research as to whom we were buying from. It ended up not being a business, but a persons personal cell phone that we would call. She wouldn't answer or would hang up on us. After several months, we called PayPal and said it was fraudulent, they shut down my account, which was fine by me, and refunded the money.

The friend option means no fees on the money for the shipper.

I will only pay through paypal with a detailed invoice. I also pay fees when people complain about sending an invoice.

I would rather pay the fees than not get my money back. It's not much either,. Only a few dollars extra.

If I don't get my item in thirty days I open a claim with paypal. They reimburse me and then go after the shipper for the money. Most of the time if a card or bank account is hooked to paypal, they charge it on the shippers card. So say I paid 250 for a tack set and never got my item or it wasn't represented correctly, I can open a claim and they will investigate. ONLY if it's paid via Invoice. Regardless of if the shipper has the money or not it will debit the account hooked to the shippers paypal. So say they already spent the $250, I still get my money and their bank account is now over drawn $250.

word to the wise, Ive learned the hard way. If you pay for something threw paypal and send money as the"friend" option so there is not a fee taken out, if the buyer decides to not ship the item or the package gets lost you cant get your money back. Paypal will not open a claim on money sent as a gift as there is 'technically' no item being shipped youre just paying a 'friend' money.
