Unfortunately not, it was withdrawn a few months ago.

Thank you. This makes things easier when needing to return shoddy goods - if return postage isn't refunded by PP, then refund without return should be applied. Eg, refunded for incorrect item, paid almost the same to return it leaving me with a refund of just over a £1

In the event of a dispute you choose your seller and not Paypal so you need to bear in mind possible return trackable costs before you go ahead and buy from that seller / country.

Paypal state this >>
IMPORTANT: You may be required to return the item to the seller or other party we specify as part of the settlement of your claim. PayPal Buyer Protection does not entitle you to reimbursement for the return shipping costs that you may incur.

You also have the option to do a chargeback via your card issuer instead of a Paypal dispute if you funded your Paypal payment via a credit card.
