receiving funds for somebody else
This is a real scenario my friend and I are stuck with: I received a 270 USD payment for items I've shipped already and my new thai PP account got limited, as usual a ton of docs is required. as I'm not sure I can recover the account, I refunded the customer and told him to resend the funds to my friend's indian PP, which also got limited, but after withdrawal to his bank account. now he has to call PP customer service and explain the mess. my opinion is he should tell the truth, that he was helping a friend. but we don't know how PP rep would react. if this is not allowed, we may create a bigger mess. the initial idea was to explain he did some SEO work and got paid for his services, but the customer copied in his message the all items description, exactly as he did when he initially transfered the funds to me. so the question is: does PP allow to receive funds to help a friend? or we need to come up with something better than that?
