Notes:

• When you make a purchase of goods or services, the seller will pay a small fee to receive your payment. 
• Once the payment is made, you won’t be able to cancel or reverse it. If you make a mistake, including sending the wrong amount, please contact the recipient to request a refund. The recipient can only issue a refund using our website. You'll need to confirm receipt of the item before the recipient can access the funds and issue a refund to you.
• "Friends and Family" payment type will only be available for payments sent to Personal PayPal accounts. Business accounts won't be able to receive these payment types.
