>TBF, is there any way to do fraud protection on personal transfers ? Imagine you sent 100 bucks to your cousin and 10 min later requested your bank to get your money back because you sent it to the wrong cousin.
When it's easily verifiable that actual fraud has taken place I would say yes. It would've taken them literally 5 minutes of their time to investigate by going to the website, seeing it presents itself as a retail furniture store, and to go through the checkout process and seeing that it ends up at a form for a personal transfer, and that no goods ever end up being delivered, all of which clearly indicate the transaction is 100% intended to be fraudulent by the supposed seller.

Including of course the ones where you actually sent the money to your friend who already spent it out of PayPal, and PayPal has to front the money for your chargeback. Fraud management is hard. Most actors in the domain are also jerks, but that's orthogonal to it being hard I think.
