Verify the pharmacy’s PayPal account legitimacy. Check for a verified business status and positive customer reviews directly on PayPal’s platform.
Always use the official PayPal website or app. Avoid clicking links from emails or suspicious websites; these can lead to phishing attempts.
- Review the pharmacy’s privacy policy and terms of service, paying close attention to data security practices. Use a strong, unique password for your PayPal account, and enable two-factor authentication for added protection. Regularly check your PayPal account statements for unauthorized transactions. Report any suspicious activity immediately.
Consider using a virtual credit card or a prepaid card for online purchases. This limits your liability in case of fraudulent activity.
Double-check the billing address and recipient information before completing the transaction. Ensure they match the pharmacy’s details. Keep records of all transactions, including confirmation emails and order numbers. These can be useful if you encounter issues. Contact PayPal support directly if you encounter problems with a transaction or suspect fraudulent activity.
Familiarize yourself with PayPal’s buyer protection policy. Understand the conditions under which you are covered if something goes wrong.
