The clause defines the operational scope of PayPal's Purchase Protection coverage by carving out specific transaction types—QR code payments and in-person collection scenarios—that fall outside the program's eligibility requirements. This establishes different protection standards based on payment method and transaction fulfillment structure.
Users who conduct transactions through QR code payments in person, or who arrange to collect purchased items in person rather than through delivery, operate under terms that exclude them from Item Not Received purchase protection claims. The provision narrows the circumstances under which PayPal's buyer protection applies based on how and where the transaction occurs.

"However, PayPal's Purchase Protection program does not apply to payments made in person using PayPal World via QR code. For non-QR code payments, your purchase is not eligible for Item Not Received claims if you use PayPal or PayPal World to pay in person, or if you order online, but collect the item in person, or arrange for it to be collected on your behalf.— Excerpt from PayPal's PayPal Buyer and Seller Protection
