PayPal fraud protection is mostly about making sure PayPal isn't the one holding the bag in the end. Any actual prevention of fraud is secondary at best.

  They have a recent change that is anti merchant, when someone request for a refund they wont give back the transaction fee. Seller lose out on the sale and pay paypal a transaction fee, buyer get their full money and paypal keeps the transaction fee. It used to be returned to the merchant.

    I'm honestly surprised Paypal is still in business. Everybody hates Paypal.

      The power of network effect. You can't afford to not accept PayPal because all the buyers have it, and all the buyers have it because you can pay with it everywhere. An alternative network would have a hard time getting users to sign up.
