There are eBay and Paypal apps for android phones as well.

The eBay one is pretty useless as it won't let you send invoices or delete listings, but the Paypal one seems okay.

I can update my Apps through my phone, but I have an Android phone..

I love the eBay App but it's dangerous to my spending

 A commercial transaction involves buying and selling goods or services, and payments received when you "request money" using PayPal.

A personal transaction involves sending money (initiated from the "Personal" tab of the "Send Money" flow or “Send Money” through PayPal mobile) to and receiving money into your PayPal account from friends and family without making a purchase, (ie the payment is not for goods or services).

I think the bolded phrase above would make it impossible to make a claim on either the buyer or seller protection policy.

personal payments are no longer free when funded partially or fully by a debit or credit card 

 see the link

 Domestic personal transactions

Payment Method: entirely funded by PayPal balance or bank account

Free when no currency conversion is involved

Payment Method: entirely or partially funded by debit card or credit card Sending / Receiving (The sender decides who pays)

2.4% + Fixed Fee (see table below)

Sorry.....

 I should have made this bit clearer.

 In my view it would be impossible to make a claim on the buyer or seller protection policy for a personal payment because the policies relate generally to goods.

Personal payments cannot be used for goods or services therefore claims for the non delivery, the poor quality, breakages during freight or counterfeit items..... whatever????

 could not be entertained when the payment is flowed through the personal tabs.

I think paypal worked out they had a "profit leak" that needed to be plugged

The buyer could just make a PayPal payment and select "eBay goods"

Let him pay however he likes.

When you get the payment, mark it as paid like it was a bank deposit.

Easy.
