PayPal: This is how you can arrange for free returns
For the special service you must first
activate
the corresponding
option
in your PayPal account
.
If you now initiate a return and would like to get the
costs back
, you should keep the receipt for the return label.
You can then log into your PayPal account and confirm the return of the item in the "Orders" area and request a refund.
The costs for sending the return will then be
credited
back to your
PayPal account
within
five days
.
But be careful: The service is of course only valid for orders that you have paid for with your PayPal account - but
worldwide
!
Users can also make use of the free returns, which can cost up to 25 euros,
up to
twelve times
.
This results in an annual amount of
300 euros
.
That should also be enough for frequent shoppers, especially since many shops now rely on free returns anyway.
