Multinational payment services firm PayPal is silently taking down protections for purchases related to nonfungible tokens (NFTs).
On May 20, amended policies will take effect, removing buyer and seller protection coverages for NFT purchases. In its upcoming policies page, PayPal <a href="https://www.paypal.com/us/legalhub/upcoming-policies-full" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">said</a> that it has revised its Purchase Protection Program to exclude NFTs from eligibility.

Apart from this, the company also highlighted that it’s also changing its Seller Protection Program to exclude NFT transactions worth $10,000.01 or above.
This means that PayPal’s guarantee will no longer cover NFT sales over $10,000 against false claims, chargebacks, or scams that could lead to monetary losses.
