4. Receiving Money.
4.1 Receiving Personal Payments. If you are selling goods or services, you may not ask the buyer to send you a Personal Payment for the purchase. If you do so, PayPal may remove your ability to accept Personal Payments.
4.2 Use of PayPal on eBay. Sellers who offer PayPal as a payment method in their eBay listings must follow these requirements:
a.
Accept PayPal if the eBay listing includes PayPal as a payment method.
b.
Accept all PayPal Payment Methods from a buyer, including but not limited to eCheck and credit cards.
c.Accept international PayPal transactions if the eBay listing offers shipping outside the U.S.
d.
Sellers may not charge a surcharge for accepting PayPal as a payment method.
4.3 Payment Review. Payment Review is a process by which PayPal reviews certain potentially high-risk transactions. If a payment is subject to Payment Review, PayPal will place a hold on the payment and provide notice to the Seller to delay shipping of the item. PayPal will conduct a review and either clear or cancel the payment. If the payment is cleared, PayPal will provide notice to the Seller to ship the item. Otherwise, PayPal will cancel the payment and the funds will be returned to the buyer. All payments that clear Payment Review will be eligible for PayPal Seller protection coverage if they meet the PayPal Seller protection requirements. PayPal will provide notices to you by email and in the History subtab of your Account.
4.4 Risk of Reversals, Chargebacks and Claims. When you receive a payment, you are liable to PayPal for the full amount of the payment sent to you plus any Fees if the payment is later invalidated for any reason. This means that, in addition to any other liability, you will be responsible for the amount of the payment sent by the sender, plus the applicable Fees listed in Section 8 (Fees) of this Agreement if you lose a Claim or a Chargeback or if there is a Reversal of the payment. You agree to allow PayPal to recover any amounts due to PayPal by debiting your Balance. If there are insufficient funds in your Balance to cover your liability, you agree to reimburse PayPal through other means. If a sender of a payment files a Chargeback, the credit card issuer, not PayPal, will determine who wins the Chargeback.
4.5 Refund and Reversal Currencies. All refunds and reversals will be made in the same currency as the original transaction. If your transaction must be refunded or reversed and you do not have the correct currency available in your Balance, a currency conversion will be performed.
4.6 No Surcharges. You agree that you will not impose a surcharge or any other fee for accepting PayPal as a payment method. You may charge a handling fee in connection with the sale of goods or services as long as the handling fee does not operate as a surcharge and is not higher than the handling fee you charge for non-PayPal transactions.
4.7 Taxes. It is your responsibility to determine what, if any, taxes apply to the payments you make or receive, and it is your responsibility to collect, report and remit the correct tax to the appropriate tax authority. PayPal is not responsible for determining whether taxes apply to your transaction, or for collecting, reporting or remitting any taxes arising from any transaction. You acknowledge that PayPal will report to the Internal Revenue Service the total amount of payments for goods and services you receive each calendar year into all the Accounts you own if you receive into these Accounts (i) more than $20,000 in payments for goods or services and (ii) receive more than 200 payments for goods or services in the same calendar year.
4.8 Receiving Payments from Student Accounts. PayPal may block your ability to receive payments from Student Accounts if you sell goods or services that may be illegal for minors to purchase under any applicable laws or regulations. This includes, but is not limited to, alcohol, tobacco or adult-oriented materials.
4.9 Your Refund Policy and Privacy Policy. If you sell goods or services, we recommend that you have a published return policy and a published privacy policy on your website and, if applicable, at your point of sale, including your In-Store Checkout point of sale.
4.10 Receiving Preapproved Payments.
If you receive Preapproved Payments, you must comply with the following requirements:
a. Authorization. You must receive your buyers prior Authorization for the amount, frequency, and duration of the Preapproved Payment. You must provide your buyer with notice of the amount and date of each Preapproved Payment at least 10 Days before the transfer, unless the buyer has elected to receive notices only for varying amounts, as described in clause (b) below.
b. Notice Requirements for Varying Amounts. If the amount of the Preapproved Payment varies, you must provide your buyer with notice of the amount and date of each Preapproved Payment transfer at least 10 Days before the transfer. You may also give the buyer the option to receive notice only when the amount of a Preapproved Payment falls outside a range that you and the buyer have agreed upon in advance. If the buyer has chosen to receive notices only for Preapproved Payments falling outside the agreed upon range, then you must send your buyer notice of the amount and date of those transfers at least 10 Days before the transfer.
c. Required Stop Payment Procedures for Preapproved Payments. You must provide buyers with the ability to stop a Preapproved Payment up to 3 Business Days before the scheduled date of the Preapproved Payment. If a buyer has stopped or canceled a Preapproved Payment, you may not restart future payments without the written Authorization of the buyer. In addition, if your buyer signed up for the Preapproved Payment through an online method, you must provide a simple and easily accessible online cancellation procedure.
