Unauthorized Payment Reversals Limit

by eriksnelsons Member in Security and Fraud Archives

Hey, we are running business with PayPal at significant scale and process around 20k sales per month. We keep our Dispute Tier Level in a good standing and we are around 0.5% Dispute Tier Level. However recently we have got the notification that we have to reduce Unauthorized Payment Reversals in next 90 days. If I calculate correctly we had 1.10% last 90 days at the time we got this notification and now 90 days later we have reduced down to 0.90%. We calculate all unauthorized claims + disputes based on transaction date last 90 days. Our problem is that publicly there is no available information what is the threshold we cannot cross (like 1.5% for dispute tier level) and I am worried if something bad can happen with our account. If I looks from VISA fraud monitoring program perspective we should keep our chargeback rate below 0.70% and have less than 100 chargebacks per month and we are safe for this rate since around only 1/2 of all unauthorized payment reversals are direct chargebacks with the bank, other 1/2 is through paypal.   I hope someone can help to understand if our situation is safe or we have to worry about it? When I talk to CS team they say all looks good but at the same time many people have told me that if I cross 1% it can go very bad... ... View more
