What Fraud prevention measures are taken on PayPal transactions?

PayPal implements its own fraud prevention measures (please see details above). As a PayPal transaction is not sent to the bank for authorisation by Sage Pay, AVS/CV2 results cannot be obtained, therefore the AVS/CV2 results will always display the ‘Not Provided’ symbol within the My Sage Pay Admin area. Similarly with 3D Secure, if a shopper selects to use PayPal they will not go through the 3D-Authentication process, therefore 3D Secure results will not be obtained. The 3rd Man results are not available on PayPal transactions because many of the details used to make a payment through PayPal are not released to the 3rd Man, which means they do not have enough data to make a valid risk score.
