We’ll protect you from abusive buyer behavior and from events outside your control.

How we protect sellers

We know that safety is important to you when selling online.

We take action to protect thousands of sellers in the UK every month, and we’re constantly improving our systems to make our marketplace as safe as possible.

Here are just a few of the ways you’re protected.

Automatic protection against high-risk buyers

Our team is on the lookout 24/7 for bad buyer behaviour. And they’re backed by large-scale, automated detection systems that monitor millions of transactions every day.

We may automatically remove negative or neutral Feedback when:

  • We know that a buyer consistently leaves neutral or negative Feedback that is inconsistent with a seller’s overall performance. 
  • We identify that a buyer is trying to get an unauthorised refund or avoid paying for a return. 
  • We stop suspended buyers from returning by identifying linked accounts or aliases.

How the 4Bike Money Back Guarantee protects sellers

The PayPal Money Back Guarantee is designed to allow buyers to make purchases with confidence.

It also protects sellers in the following ways:

  • If a buyer opens a case and you refund them within 3 business days, we will refund your final value fee for the transaction.
  • Buyers are always encouraged to contact the seller before filing a case. If you’re not able to resolve the issue, you can ask us to step in and help.

In addition, we automatically remove defects, adjust the seller’s Late delivery rate and remove Feedback when we close an PayPal Money Back Guarantee case or appeal request in favour of the seller.

Customer service

Our customer service team is on-hand to help. If you have a problem with a buyer that you’re not able to resolve, you can get assistance via online chat or phone.

Contact our customer service team

If you feel that a buyer has violated our rules and policies, let us know. It only takes a minute and will help us monitor buyer activity, which helps protect you as well as the rest of the selling community.
