He paid as goods. And yes, I am in Czech republic. The shipping took 2 weeks but he fileled the claim the second day. I did exchange maybe 15 emails with PP but I could not prove the package was DELIVERED - only shipped. They did not care he had incorrect address in his profile. No delivery, no payment. I can only hope the package will be returned.

F&F is meant for transfer of money not purchase of goods or services so for F&F PayPal doesn't provide a verified shipping address.
F&F should never be used unless you are giving or getting money as a gift. The 3.5% fee on G&S is cheap protection.

Funny thing too make 2.9% + $0.30 = 3.5% the value would be $50 I peek at the sales threads and know that most things being sold are far more than that so it is really padding those prices if people use 3.5%

It's more overseas, like 4% plus I think.

What do you mean? If my friend gifts me some money via paypal f&f, I am not protected? So my friend or paypal can take back the gifted monay anytime they want?

No, he means that if you buy something from a seller and pay with F&F instead of G&S you do not get the protections that G&S offers. F&F is meant for giving money to another party.

The OP was the seller here and Got screwed. Not sure how it matters as seller protection is not covering him, even though it was G&S.

Of course I know the difference between f&f and g&s, and what each means to the BUYER. But that is irrelevant to what the OP who is the SELLER is suffering.
Exactly this.

It's almost become:
Person got screwed, don't read thread, just blame F&F. Seems a lot of people are screwed as sellers by good and services lately as well.
