When is PayPal Return Shipping ending?

PayPal offers a service called “Return Shipping on Us” that provides a partial refund of return shipping costs for eligible online purchases made with a PayPal account. Here’s how it generally works:

1. Eligibility: To be eligible for PayPal’s Return Shipping on Us service, you need to meet certain criteria, including having a PayPal account in good standing and making your purchase using PayPal. The specific eligibility criteria may vary by country and may change over time, so it’s essential to check the PayPal website for the most up-to-date information.
2. Request for Refund: If you need to return an eligible item you bought online and the seller doesn’t offer free returns or reimbursement for return shipping costs, you can request a refund of your return shipping costs through PayPal’s service.
3. Submit a Claim: To request a refund, you typically need to submit a claim on the PayPal website or app within a specified timeframe. You’ll need to provide information about the return, including proof of the return shipping cost and proof of purchase.
4. Approval and Reimbursement: After reviewing your claim, PayPal will determine whether it meets the eligibility criteria. If your claim is approved, PayPal will refund a portion of your return shipping costs, up to a certain limit. The exact refund amount and limit can vary by country and may change over time.
5. Payment: If your claim is approved, PayPal will credit the refund amount to your PayPal account, and you can use it for future purchases or transfer it to your linked bank account or card.

It’s important to note that the terms and conditions of PayPal’s Return Shipping on Us service may change, so it’s a good idea to review the current terms and eligibility criteria on the official PayPal website or contact PayPal customer support for the most accurate and up-to-date information.

Additionally, not all purchases or returns may qualify for this service, so be sure to check the specific requirements and limitations associated with the program when making an online purchase using PayPal.
