Notes:

• Choose “For Goods and Services" when you buy goods or services. The seller will pay a fee to receive your money. 
• Choose “For Friends and Family” when sending money to a friend or family member. There may be a small charge to you depending on how you pay or if it's an international payment. 
• The payment type “For Friends and Family” is available for both Personal and Business PayPal accounts. However, Business PayPal accounts in the US can only receive “For Friends and Family” payments from non-US PayPal accounts.
• Once you send money, you won’t be able to cancel or reverse the payment. If you make a mistake, including sending the wrong amount or selecting the wrong payment type ("For Goods and Services" or "For Friends and Family"), you'll need to contact the recipient to request a refund. The recipient can only issue a refund using our website. If you selected "For Goods and Services" but are sending money to a friend or family member, you'll need to confirm receipt of the item before the recipient can issue a refund to you.
