link https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?c...nline_shopping Here is paypal link mentioning that if the item NEVER arrives! https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/ma...ase_protection How can sellers NOT be scammed via this process? All you hafta do it say you received an empty carton in the mail, that the item must have been stolen or fallen out, and you get a FULL refund!! If the item is not as described, or never arrives, then he get a full refund. Where does that refund come from? The sellers paypal account. If the item never arrives, the buyer is instructed to open a "SNAD" or Significantly Not as Described, and of course......the buyer agian, gets his full money back. I just got BURNED for $150 because my item arrived damaged. Buyer opened a dispute with paypal, 3 days later, my account is debited $150 and paypal says because my item is "trashed" they are NOT required to return it. I opted to do $50 of insurance on it, which I thought was protecting the buyer in case of emergency, and instead, I lose (technically) $100. I contacted my Post Office Postmaster about this, and he said its due to eBay and Paypal (they're one and the same)'s new policies on protecting the buyer (Paypal and eBay make their money off of the buyers). My transaction happened outside of eBay as well, on a popular internet forum. |

Basically, its crap. You didn't do insurance (and neither did I) and we both learn a lesson from it. I will not put anything on eBay over $100 now to avoid being scammed. Furthermore, if you DO do insurance, the buyer must send it back in the EXACT packaing, and then the USPS examines it to ensure it was packed correctly before deciding whether to pay you.....what crap!

Tell him if he wants his money he can come and get it. But hide your garage door openers first.

UPS lost a monitor that we shipped from a company that I worked for a long time ago when a new monitor that size cost $5,000. I yelled at them once a week at least for a couple of months then grew tired and gave up.
It arrived more than a year later with no announcement at all and no explanation of where it had been. I try not to use UPS. |

Yeah, seller is at fault always unless there is proof that the buyer received the item. From now on I'm sure you'll get insurance and delivery confirmation.
I had some textbooks that the buyer claimed didn't show up a few months ago. I had no choice but to refund her money. If I hadn't gladly refunded, she would have filed a claim with Amazon and they would have taken the money back from me anyway.

Additionally, I always over-insure by at least $100 of the sale price because it's time consuming to file a claim and receive the insurance money from the shipping company and I'd bet the USPS is even worse. I'd chalk it up to a learning experience. At least it was only a $120 item. |

USPS has been ****ing up a lot lately. I bought something recently and it took 20+ days to arrive. 13 of those days, it just sat in their warehouse.
