DO NOT SEND PAYPAL AS GIFT OR FRIENDS OR FAMILY UNLESS....

another trick:

Funding method: For extra protection, it’s a good idea to complete PayPal purchases with a credit card (use your card as the funding mechanism—not an "instant transfer" from your bank account, debit card, or PayPal balance). Why? If PayPal decides not to refund your money, you can try disputing the transaction again with your credit card issuer. What’s more, a credit card is not linked directly to your bank account like a debit card, so you won’t have an empty account while you clean up the mess.
