PayPal Purchase Protection window will be extended to 180 days starting November 18

so THIS is going to be fun...

"Beginning November 18, the latest updates to PayPal’s User Agreement and policies will take effect, with important implications for both buyers and sellers who use PayPal on eBay.

To help bring its purchase protection policies in line with the coverage many buyers receive when they pay for a product or service by credit card, PayPal will now give US buyers up to 180 days from payment to file a PayPal dispute for an item that wasn’t received or was not as described. Please note that this update does not affect the time buyers have to open an eBay Money Back Guarantee request, which will remain 30 days after the latest estimated delivery date."

As if it wasn't fun enough that people could return something for pretty much any reason within 45 days of purchase, NOW they get 180 days to use it, read it, watch it, break it, copy it, or strip it and send it back!!
