Question about sources other than paypal

Not allow how, what is the exact message? Only times I have had issues with getting money in PayPal is when the wrong email address was used, or it was done trying to use some payment source that needed approval first or was declined like a credit card, or there was some account issue in general say you changed banks but did not chance PayPal information.
And you sir, should be happy you an I have never done business. I'd have reported your account to PayPal. It's against PayPal's terms of service to force those charges back on your buyer. You cannot mandate a payment type, and you cannot recoup the fees. That is YOUR fee for using PayPal as a selling service.
It's amazing how many people bash a buyer for not covering a 3% fee, but not the seller when they don't want to eat THEIR OWN fee.
If the SELLER doesn't want to pay the fees, then they should "build" the fees into their selling price.
This ain't rocket science.
Don't get too hurt. F/family doesn't force payor to pay fees...there are no fees.
One would think...
The "friends and family" thing only is free if you are paying from your bank account.
If you are using a credit/debit/gift card, the person sending the money is charged a fee.

But you can't use friends/family with credit card?
Please resend. I didn't get it.
Was your transaction total $411 or $400? The higher, I presume?
I sent $400.
The receiver got $400.
I was charged $11.xx as a processing fee for using a credit card.
The total on my card was $411.xx.

This is what many don't understand about buying and selling on ebay/paypal.
They will not allow it because PayPal is not stupid. Yes, they let you slide conducting business with these "friends" in the past but then their software discovered the pattern and determined these are business transactions not "F&F" type matters.
Thus, they will not allow these "friends" to send any way except through a business transaction.
Tell these same friends to send you $10 without F&F and watch how fast that money gets to you.
First, I have ZERO idea who you are and don't give a crap about doing business with you.
Second, I don't use paypal.
Third, I can absolutely choose a payment type I choose to accept.
Fourth, I prefer a check and like I said 99% of the people I deal with send me a check....
You can try an jump in all you want. Using Friends and Family as means of doing business is bullshit.
