ARTFIRE

Thinking about a purchase from Artfire. The reviews are terrible. Yet PayPal does business with them. 

Are the reviews sour grapes? 
If they're true, why would PayPal still be involved?

TIA

Paypal would not be able to check every individual seller / merchant / company in over 200 countries worldwide that adds paypal to their website to accept payments.
So they give you 'some' buyer protection but the onus is on you to risk assess your transactions.

They do stop bad companies from using Paypal when enough claims start rolling in.
However its often easy for them to just start over with a new name, so stopping them does not really do anything.
