Orders serve as irrevocable purchase proposals for those who place them and are not binding for the Seller, who reserves the right to accept them.
By way of example, the Seller may not accept the Order if the Buyer:

Orders shall not be considered accepted until confirmed by the Seller.

PayPal determines, at its sole discretion, whether the user’s claim is eligible for the Purchase Protection program based on eligibility requirements, on any information or documents provided during the resolution process, or any other information it deems relevant and appropriate based on the circumstances.
PayPal’s initial decision shall be considered final, but the user may appeal to PayPal if they have new or valid data that was not available at the time the initial decision was made, or if they believe there was an error in the decision-making process.
