Paypal Changes

[EtchedPixels]

In the new terms and conditions

"... PayPal reserves the right not to effect a payment made by you until it receives cleared funds (this also means, without limitation, that PayPal is not obliged to settle a refund transaction before having received funding for the original transaction)."

so it seems that if you buy something and the seller does a runner, from now on you'll not get a refund if paypal can't get it back from the seller..

Ouch!

Was that a genuine email I received from Paypal and not a scam - difficult to know what is real and what is not these days!!!

Well I got 2 emails today from Paypal one for a product I bought and the other went in the spam post, so that got deleted and never read so they must of come from 2 different addresses, the number of times I have had spam stating it was Paypal is uncountable.

[Geoff]

Just been into my account on Paypal and there is no mention of a change of contract, so this must be Spam that was sent.

Thanks for that, seems strange the email went straight through spam when the other on was OK, they seem to change the rules to suit themselves, I will be glad when Paypal vave a rival payment company.

And why I pay for everything via paypal using my credit card, I have had to use "Charge back" twice now to get refunded. They didn't like it either!

No, It means they won't start the refund process to you until the payment from you to them has cleared...

I must admit that's how I read it as well, but wasn't sure as I am easily befuddled by legal jargon.

I might be a bit thick but I wish you didn't need a bloody degree in law to understand these things.
