eBay have recently changed the terms and conditions of the Buyer Protection Policy on the UK site.
| Quote: | 08 May, 2007 | 02:59PM BST
We wanted to let you know about improvements we’re making to buyer protection on eBay.co.uk and eBay.ie.
From June 2007, PayPal will provide £150/€200 of coverage with no processing fee, no minimum purchase price and no seller requirements for all UK / IE buyers who pay with PayPal. This coverage protects buyers for purchases made of certain items which are either not received or for those that are significantly not as described.
Additionally, buyers who use PayPal to purchase items from eligible sellers may be entitled to up to £500/€1000 protection.
Buyers can look in the Meet the Seller, Buy Safely section on item listings to see how each specific listing is covered.
The protection offered by PayPal is an expansion of PayPal Buyer Protection and replaces the eBay Standard Purchase Protection Programme which previously covered most eBay listings for up to £120/€200 minus a £15/€25 processing fee.
We’ve responded to community feedback that eBay Standard Purchase Protection wasn’t meeting the community’s needs, so we’ve decided to retire it and just offer simplified purchase protection through PayPal – making coverage on eBay much simpler and more comprehensive.
Find out more about why protection is important and details of our policies along with other useful information about buying with confidence in our Safety Centre.
Regards,
The eBay.co.uk and eBay.ie Teams |

Previously the standard eBay SPPP offered coverage to buyers who paid by Cheque or Postal Order etc, but now it is only if the buyer uses Paypal.
This policy is now in force across the UK Site. Just to clarify how to identify your protection level - look at the right hand side of the item header. Notice how all sellers have 100% feedback records, but the protection varies.
If the seller does not accept Paypal then no protection is available - this will appear under the sellers feedback details.
If Paypal is offered but the seller is not verified, this will be displayed.
If the seller is verified and offering Paypal, you will see this.
For sellers wishing to become eligible for £500 protection, the following terms must be met -
- A Verified PayPal Premier or Business account
- At least a 98% positive feedback rating (this includes feedback from repeat buyers and sellers)
- An eBay feedback score of 50 or more
- PayPal as a payment method during the eBay listing process (PayPal - - Buyer Protection only covers items paid for with PayPal
- A PayPal account in good standing
- List the item on an eligible eBay site.
By acting on the above information, buyers should be able to make a better judgement on whether to purchase from each seller. |
