Receiving Paypal as payment from family/friends using a Credit Card

[paltak]

Hi folks,

I have a deal with another member. This is not a case of buying the seller/buyer question. We both have a couple of references on here, been communicating for awhile and are comfortable with the deal. I'm the seller and I'm in the US and he's in Australia.

He offered to pay me via Paypal as payment from family/friends ("gift") using his Credit Card (perfectly reasonable IMO). I've only used Paypal for selling/buying small purchases, e.g., straps, etc.

Because this is my first Int'l deal and first big ticket Paypal transaction. For the more seasoned members, is there any possible downside with the proposed form of payment?

Again, this is not a case vetting out the buyer/seller. Would love to hear your input/experience related to this subject. TIA!
