Upcoming Policy Updates


This page informs users in advance of important changes to the PayPal service, its User Agreement, or other policies. This page displays policy updates with future effective dates. Go to “Past Policy Updates” for previous policy updates.
Amendment to the PayPal User Agreement


Effective Date: Mar 22, 2010

• Amendment to Section 13 (Protection for Buyers) of the PayPal User Agreement

Section 13.3 (Eligibility of Item Purchased) has been amended. Eligibility for PayPal Buyer Protection is now based on whether the PayPal or eBay buyer protection message is included in the eBay listing. Previously eligibility had been based only on whether a PayPal Buyer Protection message was shown.



Amendment to the PayPal User Agreement and Acceptable Use Policy
Effective Date: Mar 10, 2010

• Amendment to the PayPal User Agreement

The following will be added to section 11.7 (newly numbered 11.5) as an additional example of transactions not eligible for seller protection:

“Items that are not shipped to the recipient’s shipping address on the Transaction Details Page. If you originally ship the item to the shipping address on the Transaction Details Page but the item is later redirected to a different address, you will not be eligible for seller protection. We therefore recommend not using a shipping service that is controlled by the buyer.”

• Amendment to the PayPal User Agreement

Section 8 (Fees) of the User Agreement is amended to state that you may not send a Personal Payment to a recipient in India. Any payment sent to India must be for a Purchase Payment and will be charged the Purchase Payment fees.

• Amendment to the PayPal Acceptable Use Policy

The PayPal Acceptable Use Policy is being updated to include in the list of Services Requiring Pre-Approval: “Airlines, scheduled or non-scheduled charters, jets, air taxi operators;”

So if I sell something to someone, I ship it to their address via UPS and then they forward it to another, I won't be protected if they try to scam me?

Am I reading that right?
