Can you advise if an online business is legitimate or not when I use Paypal. Does Paypal check before paying the merchant ? The merchant in question is Arctic Chill Pure Chill portable airconditioner Thanks in advance

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 as they are in China (mostly) then its easy for them to just start over with a new name, so stopping them does not really do anything.
Advice is voluntary.
Kudos / Solution appreciated.
