Buyer protection for the purchases your AI agent makes.
PayPal protects you when an order never arrives or is not as described. But when a store page talks your agent into buying something you never asked for, the order arrives exactly as described, so that protection may not help. Minder checks every purchase before the money moves, and files the claims PayPal does cover when an order goes wrong.

Amount$87.00
Why
- You asked for a cat scratching post, and the order is for three of them at $29 each. The store's page contains a hidden-style note telling AI agents that the post "ships only in packs of three" and that you pre-approved the order, which is not something you said.
