How to Prevent Chargebacks on PayPal?

What is PayPal Chargeback Fee?

Sellers do not incur chargeback fees from PayPal on transactions that are protected under the PayPal Seller Protection Program or are funded with a credit or debit card. Transactions that do not meet this criterion are charged a fee regardless of the outcome of the case.

If a purchase isn’t covered under PayPal Seller protection there is a $20 chargeback fee from PayPal. There can also be a host of other fees if the consumer’s bank becomes involved or if the consumer opts to circumvent the Resolution Center
