While the company seems pretty late to enter the crowded payments market in India where players like Paytm to Amazon Pay are already aggressively marketing their services, PayPal is banking on Buyer and Seller protection.

This includes a 180-days dispute resolution window, which means PayPal will refund the money if an online seller does not send the goods purchased by the customer. PayPal will also pay the merchant in case the customer does not end up paying for the goods.
