PayPal's APM (Alternative Payment Methods) Policy

soobell

Paypal has emailed to say it's introducing new policy on Alternative Payment Methods. It's a long message, with lots of info on possible chargebacks and refunds for which I'd be responsible (the policy's principally aimed at sellers). TBH I don't really understand it & cannot find any explanation which doesn't simply revert back to the T&Cs (which the email contained). 
I'm a very small time seller (mostly house de-cluttering stuff + patterns for the aprons I make); most months I don't sell anything, & almost all my sales are <£20. 
But I'm worried about the implications of the new policy. What do others think about it?

I'm being lazy and haven't started to try and decipher these new rules yet, I will get round to doing it later at some point. I sell so little privately now that I'm not going to worry about it until I actually start using paypal in any great numbers - I'm mainly concentrating on Vinted /ebay at the moment so no need to be concerned.
