The exclusion list defines the scope boundaries of PayPal's purchase protection offering by specifying transaction categories for which the protection mechanism does not apply. This establishes the operational parameters under which Purchase Protection claims may or may not be processed.
Users engaging in excluded transaction categories operate without access to Purchase Protection program coverage under these terms. Transactions falling within the listed exclusions are not eligible for buyer or seller protection claims, regardless of other terms or circumstances.
