I was told here that light didn't have an attractive/repulsive force (charge)?

Light by light scattering does not occur only at tree level. Basically, you can have the photons fluctuating simultaneously into two fermion pairs. That forms a closed loop (box) diagram. It's quite interesting and challenging.

Thanks humanino.
Sorry I didn't realize you were answering my question until I looked up what a fermion was.
