Paypal: Payment would take care of Price Match

Oh, lord, this is gonna be crazy.......I don't think they have considered the ramifications of this one.......

Citi cards got this as well it's called the citi price rewind. It's www.citipricerewind.com register your citi card at the website.

Quote from training6147 : Paypal will lock your account at anytime!!!! And steal your money!! PayPal "IS NOT" a BANK therefore doesn't have the same regulations. Customer Beware!!!!.

Fully agree! I would rather find best price for the item that I'm willing to pay. Forget about Paypal PM policy.

I wonder, can't this be abused kind of? Like say there is an item with a mail-in rebate. You buy the item with the rebate and then pricematch to an item that the rebate is isntantly deducted.

Or for example buy a cellphone directly through a carrier and then pricematch to a 3rd party like wirefly? I know it says no "Cell phone service agreements and cell phone contracts." but says nothing about the phone itself.

What products are excluded from the PayPal Price Match?


* Items purchased in violation of the PayPal Acceptable Use Policy
* Any items that are sold for a price above the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price ("MSRP"). MSRP means the price at which a manufacturer suggests its product be sold to retail buyers
* Any price difference resulting from taxes, shipping, handling, registration, transportation or other miscellaneous fees.
* Animals and living plants.
* Boats, automobiles, and any other motorized vehicles (other than lawn equipment) and their motors, equipment, or accessories.
* Cell phone service agreements and cell phone contracts.
* Items purchased for resale.
* Jewelry, antiques, and collectible items, rare or one-of-a-kind items, special order items, custom items, or tailored items.
* Manufacturer and/or merchant rebates.
* Perishables, services, and limited-life items including, but not limited to, rechargeable batteries.
* Traveler's checks, cash, tickets other than airline tickets as noted below, credit or debit cards, and any other negotiable instruments
* Items purchased outside of the United States or its territories.
* Previously owned, sold "as is," and refurbished items.
* Items purchased on Thanksgiving, Black Friday or Cyber Monday, or advertised for sale only on these specific dates
* In the case of airline tickets, you will be covered if:
- The ticket is for the same flight (airline, date, and time)
- The advertised price is available for purchase on the airline's web page
- The lower price for the ticket is available within 7 days of the initial ticket purchase
* Airline tickets also have a $250 limit per ticket ... and a $1000 annual limit. Multiple airline tickets purchased by you and your immediate family for the same flight will be treated as one item. (i.e. the maximum payment is $250 for all the tickets, not $250 for each ticket)

Also the citi card is the only credit card that can do this. You register an item on the website and they track that item and if it goes on sale for a cheaper price they send you a refund check. As opposed to on chase you have to call them and tell them you found a lower price and send documentation, citi dose the work for you.

Some fine points from the price match PDF.
==============

If you buy an eligible item with your PayPal account in the United States between November 1, 2012 and December 31, 2012 and then see a lower price in a Printed Advertisement from any retail store or a Non-Auction Internet Advertisement within thirty (30) days of the original purchase date, file a valid benefit request within ten (10) days of seeing the advertisement and we will refund the difference up to $250.00 per item. This benefit is limited to $1,000.00 during the promotional period per accountholder’s eligible account.


The Price Match benefit does not apply to advertisements for close-out sales, flea markets, fire sales, cash-only sales, limited quantity promotions, liquidation sales, going-out-of-business sales, seasonal sales, door busters, Auctions, and sales valid for less than one day.

If multiples of the same item are purchased, they will be considered one item and subject to the $250.00 per item limit.

Note it said

Seems like exclude many deals posted on SD.

how do I have to use paypal credit/debit to make the purchase when off-line in-store?

Nevermind

So, an ebay top rated seller could sell something to a friend at MSRP and the friend could file a claim for the difference? Many, many electronics have inflated MSRPs hmm...

Fcuk PayPal. Good luck to all who have the time to price match with PayPal. They can't even handle their ebay customers happy and now they want to tackle price matching of all things? Gg
