Can I claim my money back through PayPal if I buy a phone and I am scammed?
I am in need of a new phone and do not want to pay £1000’s so I am thinking about buying a phone off Facebook buy and sell or Depop but they all they that u have the send the money through PayPal.
If I send the money through PayPal I can then claim it back if I don’t receive the phone or if it’s not in the advertised condition right?
I am so scared of getting scammed and do not want to waste money.
Will I be safe? Or should I just buy a new phone completely from Apple? HELP

If you send the money via Paypal's friends and family function, you probably won't be able to claim it back if you were scammed: the money in this case is viewed as a gift, and PayPal has no proof that you were using that money to pay for goods. Claims are usually only successful if businesses use PayPal officially.
