So only the fee is the difference between normal and F&F payments? in all transactions if i see 0 fees that means that they send it as F&F?

Pretty much. I forget but usually a payment for goods or services looks a little different, but I can't remember what the differences were.

From the perspective of the receiver "normal payments" usually include a shipping address or at least contact information about the sender (including country, address and so on) while F&F payments usually only include the sender's name and email.

Thank you very much!Cause i search to some ~paypal~ forums and i wonder(if you can help me with this info because i didnt find a clear answer) can the sender request a refund with F&F option?

I think people can always request a refund, they just say that they lost their credit card and someone did something with it like sending a payment.
And usually PayPal is on the buyer's side.

I think the OP was asking about legitimately asking for a refund, not engaging in fraud.

Normally, F&F payments can be refunded at the discretion of the payment receiver, but in terms of disputes, F&F payments are not covered by the normal protection mechanisms Paypal has in place. The idea is that they are friends and family, and so you should be able to trust them and not need those services. That's why you have to be careful if you're using it for any large amount.

However, if you're the receiver of the F&F payment you're the only one who can issue a refund through the account page. The sender doesn't have that option if he uses F&F as the payment method. I think that was what the OP wanted to know.

Yes, of course. The only person who can refund money is the person who receives money, absent a dispute. It's always that way, no matter if it's a F&F payment or a purchase from a seller.

Ok!thank you for the info! :D

There's no easy button to dispute a payment sent through F&F like there is with normal payments. You would have to go through your bank or contact PP some other way I believe.
