Hagens Berman’s class-action alleges PayPal’s required merchant contracts—including provisions that prohibit merchants from steering customers to cheaper payment options or offering incentives for non‑PayPal methods—inflate prices paid by shoppers. The complaint claims consumers who bought from retailers accepting PayPal or Venmo may be eligible for refunds, illustrates potential price differences, and cites PayPal’s scale: roughly 400 million accounts, $27 billion revenue (2022), 22 billion transactions and $1.36 trillion in processed volume, and nearly 1 million U.S. e‑commerce sites accepting it.
