buyer protection
Consumer refund guarantee
Buyer protection is a guarantee, typically from a payment platform or marketplace, that shields purchasers from fraud, non-delivery, or misrepresented goods.
If a transaction goes wrong, the buyer can file a claim and potentially receive a refund: I got my money back through PayPal's buyer protection.
The term appears frequently in online shopping contexts where trust between strangers requires institutional backing.
