I ordered 4 requesting PayPal as payment.
I received an invoice/payment request to a Russian individual's name.
My payment options did NOT include PayPal credit 0% for 6 months on purchases over $500.
This to me was a red flag - seems to be a person-to-person request and not an online purchase - meaning no buyer protection.

I am not comfortable enough to move forward with payment.

THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.

DO NOT PAY FRIENDS/FAMILY.

Only accept a paypal purchase/billing invoice.

Seems extremely scammy now... hopefully you guys see it.... else im gonna laugh in your face for not being at least the slight bit intuitive on this "purchase".

Actually the request I got is not a friends and family request. Its not invoiced but has the order number and description as Goods (other). You need to go details view (pdf) to see this in your PayPal account. I am reading that its covered by protection. Your order number/email should be sufficient for description.

Although the best way would be for Dwarf to create an Invoice describing the goods...

If it is a legitimate business invoice I should have the option to use PayPal credit - but that is not an option PayPal gives me.
Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't trust that this purchase would be covered by buyer protection - and even if it is covered, that is no guarantee that PayPal will decide in your favor in the event of a dispute. I have had 2 PayPal disputes over the past 15 years - 1 went my way, 1 didn't. Your experiences may of course vary.

I would like to complete this purchase, but only if I am comfortable I have buyer protection and can buy it with PayPal credit for added peace of mind.
Credit card purchase would also be acceptable.

Unless or until that happens, I'm staying away.
