PayPal G&S vs F&F: Why It Matters

Core rule

CFS only supports PayPal Goods & Services for trade safety.

Why G&S matters

  • buyer protection exists
  • payment disputes have a formal process
  • there is an auditable transaction trail

Why F&F is dangerous

  • no buyer protection for goods
  • scammers use it to remove recovery options
  • pressure to use F&F is itself a warning sign

What to do

  1. refuse F&F for stranger transactions
  2. keep invoices and screenshots
  3. record shipping proof and delivery details
