Re: Purchase protection buying from private seller...

@sonofagun231    Doesn't have to give a definition of a seller as most folks know a seller is someone that sells things. So if you are BUYING from a SELLER and you pay using goods/services then you have buyer protection don't you???  But that protection is not a 100% coverall so we are back to this.............   go and read up on buyer protection in paypals user agreement so you can risk assess your transactions. OK? ... View more

@sonofagun231    Those 'factors'  are listed in paypals buyer protection policy and why I directed them WHERE to go. Or if you want me to state the factors then I would need to go and copy/paste the buyer protection policy on to here.   Why would I bother to do that? I advise folks where to go to get the information that they need to read up on. If you don't want to waste your time reading up on it then I surely am not going to waste my time spelling out every sentence for you.   ... View more

@sonofagun231    You have buyer protection as long as you do NOT use the friends/family option. HOWEVER that protection is not a 100% coverall and has terms and conditions and so that is why its best to actually read the small section yourself and risk assess your own transactions. ... View more

I saw that - just would think it makes sense that they could at least give an idea or estimate NOW WHEN they will get this problem fixed (especially phone contact) since this is a vital and important function. ... View more

According to the working capital terms and conditions,  it mentions real estate purchases are forbidden and also "any other real property interests" (but does not define this).    Cannot seem to find anywhere where the uses (or non uses other than mentioned above) of working capital are clearly and specifically defined. ...

Hello Estefiv89, Technical information about the TLS 1.2 requirements is available here: English: https://www.paypal-notice.com/en/TLS-1.2-and-HTTP1.1-Upgrade/ Spanish: https://www.paypal-notice.com/es/TLS-1.2-and-HTTP1.1-Upgrade/   The quickest thing you should verify is whether applications on your web servers are capable of connecting to https://tlstest.paypal.com and receiving the "PayPal_Connection_OK" response This can be tested from the command line: $ curl https://tlstest.paypal.com PayPal_Connection_OK But if the language or development environment of your web servers' applications is different, you will need to test at the application level, from application code, in order to be completely sure. Some more specific technical information for various languages can be found here: https://github.com/paypal/TLS-update ... View more
