Firstly its against paypal rules to sell and accept friends / family payments from buyers, doing so risks your paypal account being permanently limited.

 

Secondly if they funded their paypal payment via a card then yes they can still do a chargeback, normally up to 6 months later direct via their card issuer.

Its a friend and you are worried that he will chargeback?   Smiley Surprised   Smiley Wink

 

And...........no, you can withdraw the funds but if he charges back then you have to refund him (if the card issuer says so) or face your account being limited .

the payments are in the same date. but like  40 euros one then another one 87 then another one 4 euros etc. so are seperated. he can only claim back only one of them .or like all of them .? i am worried cause its an online friend not a friend in real life.and i use this for first time thats why i ask so many questions ..Smiley Indifferent
