How do I use PayPal safely and how does PayPal protect me?

If buying, we may cover you under PayPal Buyer Protection if:

• the item is significantly not as described

If selling, we may cover you under our PayPal Seller Protection if:

• you receive an unauthorised payment or
• someone claims that an item you’ve sold didn't arrive

How do I protect my details?

• Password: Use numbers, letters and special characters to create a strong password and do not use it on other websites
