Our Seller Protection helps guard you from losing money to claims, chargebacks and reversals. You’re covered for the full purchase amount on all eligible transactions.

Our Seller Protection applies to 2 types of complaints:

• Item not received
• Unauthorized transaction
  

If a transaction is eligible for Seller Protection, it will be marked as eligible or partially eligible on the Transaction Details page. If it’s marked as partially eligible, you’re only protected for items a buyer didn't receive.

Requirements for Seller Protection: 

For physical items:

• Ship the item to the address on the Transaction Details page.
• Respond to our requests for documentation and other information within the required timeframe.
• Provide us with valid proof of shipment or delivery.

For intangible goods:

• Meet integration requirements
• Provide evidence that the intangible item was delivered or provided as described, or that the service was completed as described.
• Paid transaction fees  on the sale.
