When you pay with PayPal on any website, PayPal Buyer Protection offers you comprehensive protection if your eligible transaction has a problem. If an item doesn’t arrive or is significantly not as described, we’ll help you get a full refund.

To qualify for PayPal Buyer Protection:

• Use PayPal to complete your payment.
• Pay for the item with one payment. Items purchased with multiple payments aren't eligible.
• Let the seller know there's a problem with the transaction by opening a dispute in the Resolution Centre within 180 days of making your payment. Then, escalate the dispute to a claim within 20 days of the date you opened the dispute.
• Keep your PayPal account in good standing.

If your transaction qualifies for PayPal Buyer Protection, you are covered for the full purchase price plus the original postage charges.

You can report your problem in the PayPal Resolution Centre or the eBay Resolution Centre. Either way, you’ll receive the same coverage. To find out how to report a problem on eBay, go to eBay and click Resolution Center at the bottom of any page.

Please note that some purchases such as vehicles in the Motors category, capital equipment in the Business & Industrial category, and Real Estate aren't eligible for PayPal Buyer Protection.
