Thread: Pay Pal Policy Changes

Just a small item from pages of proposed changes to Pay Poops policies becoming effective in November. I think increasing the dispute filing window may cause legit sellers some grief if less than honest buyers decide to work this change to their advantage.

1. Dispute Filing Window
   We’re increasing the time for buyers to file a merchandise dispute (Item Not Received and Significantly Not as Described) from 45 days to 180 days. All references in the User Agreement to “Opening a Dispute within 45 days” have been updated to reflect “Opening a Dispute within 180 days.” The Sections these changes appear include the Introduction, 3.15, 13.2 and 13.5.

1. 10.1(b)
   PayPal’s Seller Protection and Buyer Protection policies may vary from country to country. If you as a seller, sell an item to a buyer from another country, you will be subject to the Buyer and Seller Protection policies applicable to your buyer’s country and required to reimburse PayPal for any payment or refund to your buyer made pursuant to that other country’s policy. We are revising section 11.1 to reflect this.
