Why aren’t the buyer protection fees refunded?

Buyer protection fees correspond to a service activated as soon as payment is made.

What are buyer protection fees for?

Buyer protection fees correspond to a technical and financial service, activated as soon as payment is made.

They are used to:

  • secure funds in a third-party account for the entire duration of the transaction,
  • prevent scams between individuals (non-shipment, disappearance of the buyer or seller),
  • ensure that funds are allocated correctly, based on what actually happens:
  • payment to the seller if everything goes well,
  • refund to the buyer if the transaction fails,
  • specific handling in case of a return.

Thanks to this mechanism, neither the buyer nor the seller can misappropriate the funds, and both are protected until the end of the transaction.

Why are these fees never refunded?

This service is:

  • provided from the moment of payment,
  • fully utilized, regardless of the outcome of the transaction,
  • independent of whether the sale is completed, fails, or involves a return.

Even if the transaction is not completed or a return occurs, the fund security service has indeed been provided.

This is why buyer protection fees are never refunded.
