Is offering this method of payment against TOS of Bricklink?
I have seen and found 10 members offering payment via PayPal f&f and reported
them but no action has been taken against them, as far as I can see, after a
week.

I don't know if it is against BL's ToS, but it should be against PayPal's
ToS.

I'm almost 100% certain that stores have been shut down specifically for
that reason

Good to hear that. So the helpdesk will review my reports sometime in the future?
Just google bricklink + PayPal friends and family (or friends&family) and land
into a dozen stores offering this safe and lawful method of payment

The only issue with this is that the buyer has no protection as per goods and
services.The stores that you see accepting paymeny via friends method probably
are stores not located in the US.
It is very common for people(in EU buyers most of the time ask for this method)
to try getting cheaper products this way cause at the end of the day 6% you have
in fees for G&S - so by using friends method (like direct money transfer) you
can buy a bit more Lego.

It violates Paypal tos and will likely get your bricklink and Paypal account
suspended

sellers should simply raise their prices by 6% and charge no fees, a win win
for everyone, we here in north America pay the same fees and its very rare to
see someone offer it

I found and reported 10 stores offering PayPal friends & family.
One of them is in Canada and one in the USA.
After about 2-3 weeks, BL did not ban them so I get these 10 sellers made a smart
choice.

This depends on what you mean by buyer protection. If a buyer pays by credit
card, then it is the seller has that has no protection if the buyer claims through
their card company. There was no sale, so nothing to be protected.

Yes if you pay via friends and family
And it came to my mind to buy from each of these sellers like $100-200 and then
file a charge back. Then they would certainly remove paypal f&f from their terms
😀😀 missions achieved with no effort 😀

You can here, or at least could. I noted a scam with it a while ago...
I only know this as my PayPal account received a £400 transaction from an unknown
person, followed by another one, then a third in quick succession. Then an email
saying it was for a sofa and that they had accidentally made three payments instead
of one and would I bank transfer the money back as F&F cannot be reversed and
that I would be able to tell it is F&F as tgere would be no fees. Then finally
another email saying that they meant to send payment to someone else and they
hope I am an honest person and will refund them all the payments by bank transfer
as their PayPal account has been blocked, again pointing out that F&F is guaranteed
and cannot be refunded.
I just reported it to PayPal and they cancelled all the payments.

IIRC you could at one point in the USA but there were still credit card processing
fees associated with it.
