You waive the right to participate in class action lawsuits and must resolve all disputes through individual binding arbitration, which is generally more costly and less accessible for small-dollar claims. You can opt out of the arbitration agreement by sending a written notice to PayPal's Legal Department at 2211 North First Street, San Jose, CA 95131 within 30 days of first accepting the User Agreement.
