EBay strengthens PayPal's anti-fraud provisions

EBay hopes to attract more online traders by expanding the protections available to people who use its PayPal payment service for transactions on eBay's Internet marketplaces.

EBay executives said Thursday at the company's annual user conference that buyers who pay for items with PayPal will be eligible for full refunds, with no cap, if a seller fails to deliver an item as promised. Previously a buyer's coverage was capped at $200, or $2,000 if the item's seller enjoyed a particularly good reputation on eBay.

EBay sellers who accept PayPal as a payment method — as nearly all of them do — will also get unlimited protection against a charge being reversed.

Fortunately, I have never had a problem with paypal. Woops, I better knock on wood.
