Well its worse that I thought. I had a long conversation with Paypal over the weekend.

 

Basically anything that isnt new and doesnt have a manufacrers warranty wont be covered under the new seller protection policy. 

 

The guy on the phone sounded like he had done his research. 

 

So it wont matter where you bought it from (ebay, Target, China) its all classed as re-sale if its not as described above.

I'm going to reserve judgement / reaction on that as it doesn't actually make any sense in context of the wording  for the new policy, which suggests it's aiming to exclude items intended for resale - it kinda sounds like whoever you spoke to at PayPal believes the policy excludes items that are being re-sold, which sounds similar but is actually a whole different kettle of fish.

How do you justify reselling ?

That's the million dollar question - there are some instances where an item can only be purchased by businesses, eg wholesalers who will not sell to the general public. In those cases an assumption can be made the intention is to resell, but it won't always be correct, so I am very curious to find out (but hopefully not from personal experience   ) under which circumstances PayPal are going to apply this policy.

Whether the policy will be as I interpret it, or as the rep apparently explained it above, I'm also very curious as to what they intend to do with regards to the glaring loopholes they're about to create. 

Of course, they may just walk it back come July 31st - it's certainly the one new policy everyone is talking about, if they have anything to say about the policies at all, but TBH it wasn't the only one that got a  from me, though in fairness eBay sellers are accustomed to having to pay return postage or risk not getting their items back, so I understand why the introduction of that new policy didn't cause a blip here). 

What I got out of it is Paypal want to eliminate any chance of actually paying out on the Seller Protections Policy.

They only want to cover retail sellers who in most cases will just use their own return policy or be covered under a waranty.
