You're screwed unless the guy is nice.

PayPal changed their policy last year. Buyers have 180 days to reverse purchases, for any reason.

Good luck.

he won't lose a claim for an item like this if he ships it signature required and they sign for it. It's not like they can claim it was broken.

sorry bud - Dane is correct.

short of them flat out claiming it wasn't in the envelope, it's highly unlikely. Plus, given that Buck has proof they tried to get out of the sale, that would be some tough claims to swallow.

I had a perfectly new bass cabinet that cost more to ship than the asking price, so I really had no other choice. The purchaser was a 61 year old AT&T tech who proved his identity via email and over the phone, so I was okay with it.

These days, I'd rather donate. Just last night, I replace two older but still working 24" LCD monitors with ultra thin Samsung LED's. The old monitors are power consumption hogs and have a gigantic footprint on the desk. But instead of trying to get $50 bucks each or whatever, I'll just drop them off at Out of the Closet and take the deduction. It's not worth putting them on Craigslist because inevitably, someone will say "Can I try it out?" and want to come into the house. No thanks.

I wish I could find the exact email but in 2004, my wife decided to sell this really cool looking (but not very functional) glass desk that she had in her office. I posted a Craigslist ad and got a response from a really hot 24 year old Asian chick that was a "BDSM Mistress". She offered a 2 hour session in exchange for the desk (supposedly, no sex involved).

Had I been single...:D

Yeah I get it, I never let anyone from Craigslist in my house either, or if I had to, I would have my two Dobermans in the background. If I'm selling something, I generally have it right by the door or along side the house.

If they look sketchy at all I also have my Glock 20 on me tucked away. You never know if some slippery Larry is there to case your place. It's always better to be smart about it rather than sorry.

I can also say I have never been offered a two hour rub down from some "BDSM Mistress" for a trade. ROFL
