Is... Is there some reason not to send that much money via PayPal?
Asking for a friend.
PayPal allow easy reversal if transactions. Their dispute team favour protecting the buyer by far.
That's an understatement, PayPal will pretty much always side with the buyer no matter how ridiculous and outlandish their claim. I even had one "dispute" where the scammer changed the dispute reason which caused PayPal to ignore what I'd already submitted and close it in their favour by default as "no response". PayPal is very much pro-scammer, avoid if possible.
It's been a few years since I've had to deal with clients directly, I don't think I'll ever miss it.
As a buyer, I've had to fight hard to get items returned to scammy sellers.
I only ask because I have some members of my family transfer money between them, and it's usually a high amount like that.
No problem there
Not...sure why someone downvoted you...
Looks like OP removed their own upvote that gets added by default when posting (probably by accident).
That's fair.
