Building work

[cheinna0j3a]

Hi, I am going to have building work done in my garden coating £1700, the contractor is looking 50% as a deposit payable by PayPal, if he doesn't provide the work can I claim my deposit back from PayPal?

That depends on many factors all listed in Paypals buyer protection policy for you to read so you can risk assess your transactions.
Legal (bottom right of Paypals pages) > user agreement > buyer protection.

Hi @cheinna0j3a, 

Thank you for reaching out.

To add to what @kernowlass has advised, the payment would not be covered under our Buyer Protection Policy.

Partial payments and payments relating to real estate are not covered under this policy. Please review our User Policy for more details on this.

I hope this helps, 

Jack
