Friend owes me $500 CAD

[Pika2001]

Ok, so about a month ago, my friend (Lives in the USA) borrowed money from me, and later he tried to pay me back with PayPal but his account got limited. I think of a few methods of him paying me back, but he says his bank (Bank of America) has a policy where fees need to be paid externally (he has no PayPal balance).

He has the option to have his payments received via PayPal, but he get's paid in a month. So he says that he'll get paid with PayPal, then send me what he owes.

The thing is, I don't mind waiting a month, I'm financially stable for a teen, I have about $1300 CAD in my bank and get paid 200 - 300 every 2 weeks (work only on Sundays).

But I'm a little worried that somehow he won't be able to pay me back (Like if his new PayPal get's limited)

Also, I'm a bit worried that he is just finding excuses not to pay me back.

Does anyone know any alternative ways he can send the money?

What should I do if he doesn't pay me back?

Thanks

One way to lose a friend is
to loan one money. Id give
him that month and c if he
makes due on his promise.
After that if he makes many
excuses I don't c what u can
do other than take him before
a magistrate if u want to go
that far.

Why don't you tell him to get a cashiers check from his bank and mail it to you or a money order from the US Post office. You also could have him make a few paypal payments under his limited amount.

^ I was gonna say do increments. Like if he’s limited to $100, send 5 orders of $100 u kno?
