I have recently send money to my brother through paypal because i wanted to try if i can dispute the payment. If i try to dispute it then this appears:
"We're sorry, but this transaction cannot be disputed because it is not a purchase of goods or services. Please contact the recipient directly".

You have to contact your bank and they will chargeback for you. The issue is that many people here could be using stolen paypal accounts or debit cards that will be reversed and marked as unauthorized transactions.

i dont understand why u post such question on a bitcoin forum, and more of it, why in marketplace section ?

Because the bitcoin forum considers paypal transactions scam attempts.. What kind of question is this???
About the section, to be honest, i didn't know where i should post it..

The problem, if the $300 imposter email paypal account doing a chargeback against me is anything to go by, is that paypal appear to have an undocumented "official" policy to always allow a $ chargeback to go through at the expense according to paypal of the bitcoin seller, even when it is obvious that paypal allowed an unknown email to set up a paypal account and do a chargeback. Because paypal leave bitcoin sellers in the lurch at every opportunity, bitcoin sellers cannot risk trusting only a paypal id.

Should paypal official policy change to being more balanced; jail for someone attempting a chargeback fraud from stolen email accounts, then please could paypal issue a news release so that everybody knows that the line has been shifted to a more balanced position than it was in last year.

Hi guys,
I would like to share my thoughts about paypal..
From what i understand, there are 2 ways to send money through paypal.
First is as goods and services.
Second is as "transfer money to a friend or family"
Transering money as goods and services gives the sender the ability to take back the money with the excuse that the item or service is nos as described. Ideal for scammers..
Transfering money to a friend or family does not give you that option. So why nobody wants to trade like that? Why everytime someone even mentions paypal, he is accused as a scammer?

You can still chargeback regardless of the method you send it by. It doesn't matter.

My understanding with family and friends payment chargeback is still possible as you are able to claim "Unauthorized payment"
