Micropayments for Digital Goods. Terms and conditions have been added to the Agreement relating to a new PayPal Service, Micropayments for Digital Goods, that, among other things, offers micropayments pricing and integrated website tools to qualifying digital good merchants:
For buyers, if you purchase Digital Goods from qualifying Merchants, we may offer you the option to pay for these goods on a later date, at no additional cost to you (âPost Payment Optionâ). We may offer you this option at our discretion, which we may revoke at any time. The Post Payment Option is only enabled if you have no Balance in your Account. The amounts paid by you using the Post Payment Option will be deducted from your Account on a specific date, no more than 21 days following your initial purchase, or when your Digital Goods purchases using the Post Payment Option reach a certain amount, whichever is earlier. This date and amount will be stated in your transaction details shown under History in the My Account tab in your Account. If you elect to use the Post Payment Option but you subsequently change your preferences (by selecting your Micropayment Preferences through the Profile tab in your Account) to pay for these purchases at the time you make them then for a period of six months you will not be able to change back to the Post Payment Option.
In addition for buyers, if you file a Dispute for a Digital Goods purchase of up to the amount in the table below, we may, at our discretion, reverse the transaction without requiring you to escalate the Dispute to a Claim.

PayPal may limit the number of these reversals you benefit from in order to help prevent abuse of this process.
