All,
I am not sure what to do so I decided to post in public and see if I
can get any help. I sold an item on eBay. First it was a US auction
and a person from Austria won it. I in good faith covered some
shipping cost over sue to the international costs.
why? That was dumb.
The buyer filed a complaint 1 day after she paid. (There is no way the
package could have gotten to her in 1 day US to Austria). I responded
but did not have a tracking number since I sent it as cheap as possible
Why? That was dumb.
So you got payment and *RUSHED* out to ship it?
as it was going overseas and I was already covering some of the
shipping costs.
Why? That was dumb.
Paypal ruled in her favor..... How since the claim was obviously not
valid by the dates alone.
No shipping confirmation, no shipping. PayPal's rules are clear on
this.
Here is where it gets bad.
It got bad already.
I contact Paypal, explain the situation and they say that they will
write her a letter. There was no offer "to protect me as the buyer"
and they said that I was not covered due to some loophole in the
policy. After days of non response I try to refile with paypal. I
download and fax a copy of their form to fax to them...... the problem
is that the number is not valid.
"Protect me as the buyer"??? You're the seller, not the buyer.
Dumb loophole? The "you have to be able to confirm shipping' dumb loop
hole, or another one. If it is another one, what is it?
To make matters worse, The buyer sent me a letter stating that she got
the package a few days later and thanked me but did not remove the
claim or repay.
She knew you were a sucker...
HELP....... Is there a government board I can report this to?
No. You took the risk, now live with it.
Any sensible seller would have first not allowed sales to areas
outside those he/she is willing to ship to.
Any sensible seller would have gotten the additional fees *before*
shipping.
Any sensible seller would have gotten a shipping confirmation, in case
the buyer claims later they didn't get it.
