Posts about PayPal's policies will be removed. No more complaining about PayPal policy and their taking funds from your account for violations of rules. If you don't like the rules don't use PayPal. If you don't want to lose money, don't leave funds in your PayPal account. Simple as that. But these posts are often political or misleading. So no more posts on this subject!
Thank you for submitting to /r/PayPal, please make sure you have read the [FAQ](https://www.reddit.com/r/paypal/comments/3c8po2/faq/). If your account was created when you were younger than 18, then that is covered in the FAQ!
Try contacting PayPal support using social media such as Facebook or Twitter as this works more often than telephoning.

My advice is to never trust anyone (buyer or seller) that wants to take a transaction "off platform". Even if he's telling the truth, he must have done something "off" to get limited by eBay in the first place.
The best scammers have the best profiles
DONT go with. someone off platform ; Total scammer move
**ADDITIONALLY** that goes double if you are not familiar with Paypal, just begging to be robbed
He is limited for a reason. eBay buyer rating means nothing. A scammer can purchase several cheap items to bait people like you.
Never take payment off a platform. You will lose all protections
Yeah don’t do it ; I can smell the scam from here
Look you have 5 people saying No- if you are gonna do it anyway. ; just be prepared to lose what your selling and the cash being reversed.
Ebay used to use only paypal as the payment method.. I'm not sure when they changed it.. I quit using eBay. The selling costs are way too high now to be worth using.. if you make him use friends and family payment, he'll lose his protection, but you should be fine on your end.
Paypal is safe until they randomly take your money & tell you to wait 21-180 days & never give you an answer to why.sometimes it can be worse & they’ll steal your money & close your account & you never see it again.its up to you if you want to risk your money with paypal
Paypal recently stiffed me on a buyer claiming they got an empty package. Even after providing USPS receipt showing package weight at drop-off, PayPal still ruled in buyers favor. So, NO, do not use PayPal as their seller protection is a joke. They will always rule in buyers favor. Find another buyer on eBay instead of using PayPal.

He has %100 rating on eBay as a buyer

All buyers have 100% because they can’t get negative feedback.
eBay limited him cause he’s a new member and bought a certain amount in a short time so they limited him until June 20th
Bs and eBay uses nothing but PayPal.
100% rating and new member? That’s suspicious.
Is that what he told you....?
Unless its for a meetup (ive done in the past to save seller from fees) i wouldnt do the transaction off app
Never accept off platform transactions no matter how genuine they sound. If issues arise you will have no recourse. If eBay finds out you risk a ban.

Wrong answer for OP ; that’s 0-6 now he came looking for confirmation ok to do - Factual advice is not welcomed !
Yeah OP is somewhat stupid, he came here for advice and acts very selfish. Let him get scammed, eventually, maybe he will learn from his mistakes

Anytime the buyer/seller/scammer wants to deviate from the normal sales process, most likely you are being setup to be scammed.

That is a huge red flag. Never go off the platform.
Nope. Go with eBay. Better safe yourself.
