Nifty News: PayPal removes NFT protections, Adidas NFT sneakers and more

PayPal removes protections for NFT buyers and sellers

PayPal is quietly removing safeguards for NFT (non-fungible token) transactions on its platform.

Starting May 20, PayPal’s updated policies will no longer offer buyer and seller protections for Non-Fungible Token (NFT) purchases. According to the company’s policies page, NFTs are now ineligible for coverage under PayPal’s Purchase Protection Program.

In addition, the business mentioned that it will modify its Seller Protection Program to no longer cover NFT sales valued at over $10,000.01.

Starting January 2023, PayPal’s protection for NFT transactions valued above $10,000 against deceitful claims, chargebacks, and fraudulent activities will no longer be in effect. In simpler terms, PayPal will no longer shield you from potential financial losses exceeding $10,000 when buying or selling Non-Fungible Tokens through their platform after this date.
