Fraudulent Sellers Who Use PayPal for Payment Processing

[mspm7777]

How do you report fraudulent sellers who use PayPal as their payment processor?

After being scammed, I now see many scammers who perpetrate as legitimate websites and use PayPal to process their payments.

By using PayPal - but not allowing the customer to log into their PayPal account to process the transaction - they can avoid PayPal's buyer protections.

What is PayPal doing about this loophole?

You ''may'' not have Paypal buyer protection cover as a guest buyer but you can contact customer services and they may be able to assist you by reaching out to the seller for you OR opening a dispute if you are covered by buyer protection.
So If you need help for a guest buyer transaction then you can;

1. Phone Paypal customer services and see if they will help you.

OR
2. Contact your card issuer for a chargeback.
