PayPal Seller Protection: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how PayPal Seller Protection works to safeguard freelancers and sellers against unauthorized transactions and non-receipt claims.

PayPal Seller Protection is a service designed to safeguard freelancers and business owners using the platform from certain types of financial disputes.

Who it's for

This protection is available to freelancers and sellers who use PayPal to conduct their business transactions.

What you get

If you are covered, you are protected against claims involving unauthorized transactions or claims from customers stating they did not receive the items or services they paid for.

What it costs you

While the protection itself is part of the service, you will still pay standard transaction fees on every payment you receive.

The catch to know

If you need to dispute a claim, the documentation requirements are very strict. You must provide specific evidence to prove the transaction was valid and completed correctly.

How to apply

  1. Ensure your account is set up for business use.
  2. Complete your transactions following the platform's standard procedures.
  3. In the event of a dispute, review the specific evidence requirements for your case.
  4. Visit the official portal to manage your transactions: https://www.paypal.com
