Just a heads up about a change ot the Terms & Conditions at PayPal this month. While I am sure non of you mislead your customers with misleading descripitons... it's worth mentioning these new terms and the affect it may have if you are not open and honest.
============================== START ======================
From 1 June, customers who pay you with PayPal will be protected if they receive a product that doesn't match its description. Over 20 million online shoppers use PayPal and by offering them great protection, we're helping to improve their service in order to drive more overall business for you.
What does this mean for you?
If a customer buys something from your website, then makes a claim because it is 'significantly not as described', you may be liable to cover the costs. It's therefore very important to ensure that product descriptions on your site are as accurate as possible.
The change to our buyer protection policy will take effect from 1 June 2010 and won't apply to transactions made before this date. To learn more about 'Significantly not as Described' claims, click below and go to section 13 of our User Agreement.
================================= ENDS ===================
