Impact of various Buyer Protection processes on sellers. You should read and understand PayPal's Buyer Protection program and if you sell goods and services to buyers with PayPal accounts in countries other than your own, you should also be familiar with the buyer protection available to buyers in each of those countries. Buyers' rights under these programs may impact you as a seller. You can find this information for PayPal's programs on the Legal Agreements page by selecting your buyer's location at the top of the page and referring to the applicable user agreement for that geography. If you lose a claim under PayPal's Buyer Protection program in any country: • You must forfeit the full purchase price of the item plus the original shipping cost. This applies when you are the primary seller or a secondary seller of goods or services. For example, event ticketing agents, or online travel agents will forfeit the full purchase amount paid by the buyer. In some cases you may not receive the item back. • The Purchase Protection claim will only be considered fully resolved if: o the refund to a buyer is processed through PayPal or Venmo, as applicable, or o you provide evidence acceptable to PayPal, in its sole discretion, that the buyer agreed to the alternative resolution provided. • You will not receive a refund of the PayPal fees that you paid in connection with the sale. • If the claim was that the item received was Significantly Not as Described, you may not receive the item back, or you may be required to accept the item back and pay for return shipping costs. • If the claim was that the item received was "Significantly Not as Described" and related to an item you sold that is counterfeit, you will be required to provide a full refund to the buyer and you may not. If you accept PayPal payments from buyers for goods or services you sell through eBay, then you need to read and understand the eBay Money Back Guarantee program. Unless you opt out by calling eBay, PayPal will treat eBay's decisions in favor of your buyers under that program as a basis for reversing a PayPal payment made to you. If your PayPal balance is insufficient to cover the amount, we may: • Place a hold on your PayPal account until sufficient funds become available in your PayPal account to cover such claim; or • Create a negative balance in your PayPal account.
