VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Subject: If this is true, you should report them to PayPal as it's against their rules, not only non refuldable, but tax evasion as not a business earning. More inside.

Yes, using PayPal's "Friends and Family" (F&F) feature for business transactions is against PayPals User Agreement and can result in account suspension or banning. F&F is strictly for personal, non-commercial transfers, while all sales of goods or services must use "Goods and Services" to ensure fee payment and purchase protection.

Key Consequences and Rules:

Account Risk: Using F&F to avoid fees for business transactions can lead to PayPal freezing, locking, or permanently banning your account.

No Protection: Transactions made via F&F are not covered by PayPals Purchase Protection, meaning buyers cannot get refunds if items are not received or are fraudulent.

Tax Compliance: Using F&F for business hides commercial income, which violates PayPals policies designed to properly track sales for tax reporting.

What to Use Instead:
Always use the Goods and Services option for business transactions. This ensures that you are following the rules and that both parties are protected.
