Computer12 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Friends & Family seems to be a very popular method of payment around here which I see as avoiding fees which is 1. Illegal as far as I can see 2. plain disrespectful to the service they provide I decide not to use this method of payment for the reasons above and give very harsh backlash from sellers. They claim it is safer to use Friends & Family rather than Goods & Services. Does anyone have any experienced opinion on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realist Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 What is your opinion on corporate firms e.g. Starbucks tax evading ? or any of these firms; http://www.ethicalconsumer.org/ethicalcampaigns/taxjusticecampaign/taxavoidancerankings.aspx for that matter?

Trustmybet Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Unless you're a business acc I'm guessing? Even with business. It's illegal to be accepting under "friends and family" when their customers not friends or family. It'll get you limited on any account under a certain amount of transactions. Paypal will notify you a warning. After a certain amount of time if continued, you get limited for 90/180 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do a lot of gold sites get away with it? I know they pay the majority of their sellers with FF Edited May 15, 2016 by Realist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
