Cancel PayPal payment - does it work?

You can cancel your PayPal payment if you have problems with an order. However, be sure to contact the dealer first - this can often solve the problem. For this, the order may have been placed within 45 days.

Reasons for cancellation with PayPal

• Buyer Protection: "I did not receive a purchased item" or "The item I received does not match the description" - in these cases PayPal asks you to provide further information. You must choose one of these reasons within 20 days of purchase for PayPal to take care of it.
• External account access: On the following page you only have to click on "Next" and send the form.
• PayPal will then check your cancellation, contact the retailer in many cases and, if necessary, refund the invoice amount.
