I was going to make a sale and we agreed upon price with Paypal protection (Goods/Service) counted in. The buyer said that he could not find me, so I asked for his account and sent a request (I don't remember now (it was on the 12th of February) if I had the option to choose between Goods and Friends, but the price was with Goods/Service, but this may have been my first request. He lives in Brazil and I am under the impression that there are no Friends/Family-countries in South Amerca (maybe unless using Request)? I received a Paypal-e-mail today: " has canceled a money request". I check activities and there's only this canceled request, for this person... nothing else. It happened on the 12th of February, but I have searched his name without finding anything else. It has only gone 18 days since 12th of February and I replied "Money received - thanks", but I do not see the money. Has he found a clever way of tricking people: Making sellers "Request" money, that becomes Friends/Family (instead of the "forced" Goods/Service), and then he can cancel payments and get his money back? He may get back to my newly sent message, and just a mistake... but if he is a fraud - I don't want to waste time, waiting for silence. Anyone who can explain this situation for me?
