PayPal Seller Protection: Who Qualifies and What You Get

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.
