And you agreed to the Paypals terms & conditions which effectively negates your own T&C's. Do not offer Paypal as a payment method and you can continue to use your own terms.
yes but the contract to buy and sell is between the buyer and the seller, Paypal is just the payment means.
It would be like buying something with cash and when it goes wrong asking the bank of Englan for your money back.0 -

Paypal sadly are a law unto themselves at times.
A friend of mine once sold a mobile phone top-up voucher (£20 face value) for £17. The buyer then asked for the code to be emailed across.
A week later Paypal clawed back the money from my friend, saying it was a fraudulant transaction.
My friend advised them of the email address he had emailed the code to ( which was the same email address that paypal had been messaged from ).
As he argued, if the email address was hacked / unsafe, why were Paypal acting on instruction from that email adress ?
He then emailed them a copy of emails recieved, but paypal would not open any attachments... They just told him not to email codes out in future....
yet another example of not protecting the seller against frauds and scam artist buyers... Here he had proof of the email he had sent !Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam0 -

It wasn't, it was acting on instuctions from the credit card owner... most likely a person completely unrelated to the email address owner.My TV is broken!
Edit: refunded £515 for TV 1.5 years out of warranty - thank you Sale of Goods Act! :j0
