Paypal Protection Question

[a_m]

Can anyone please tell us what is meant by Paypal 180 days protection?

 

If suppose I pay to someone for buying some FPs through Paypal invoice (not eBay transaction/ seller has no website)

 

does it mean I get Paypal protection in case seller does not ship or creates any other issues after payment?

 

 

thanks

Yep, that pretty much covers it. I have never needed the protection, so am not too familiar with how it works. Use PayPal because it keeps my bank data private.

 

Best of luck to you,

Yes. What you describe is covered by PayPal protection.

So, am I right in understanding that

 

 

it means if one buys directly through Paypal invoice there is one step 180 days protection available.

 

 

And in cases of buy through eBay+Paypal there is two step protection - 45 days of ebay + 180 days of Paypal

My recollection is that with Ebay + Paypal, you can pick one OR the other for a dispute resolution, but not both. And generally speaking, Ebay is much more buyer friendly than Paypal. So if purchasing through eBay (with Paypal), use eBay buyer protection if you run into any issues. For everything else purchased outside of eBay using Paypal, use paypal protection.
