PayPal removed two sections from its Purchase Protection Program policy on March 6, 2026: a navigation menu listing specific claim types (QR Code and In-Person Transactions, Item Not Received Claims, Not as Described Claims, Ineligible Items, Transaction Eligibility, Online Dispute Resolution, Opening Disputes timeframes, and Dispute options) and a reference to 'Government Relations' in the footer. The core eligibility language and program terms remain unchanged. This appears to be a structural or navigation simplification with no change to the substantive protection terms themselves.
This change does not modify the substantive terms of PayPal's Purchase Protection Program. The updated policy retains the core eligibility language stating that buyers purchasing from PayPal-accepting sellers may be eligible for refunds under the program. The removal of navigation menu items and footer references appears to be a formatting or structural change rather than a substantive revision to buyer protections or program requirements.
