Basic advice when selling via Ebay and a warning.
« on: November 12, 2009, 01:14:07 PM »
Hi all, just a word of advice to ship international items via a method that has a tracking method which Ebay/Paypal recognise.

Just had an email today to say that Paypal has found on the side of a buyer (Theshomustgo0n in Portugal) as I was unable to provide evidence of receipt/tracking for an A1200 keyboard.

Annoyingly they don't take into consideration any suspicious activity such as the non-delivery complaint and escalation only taking place 2 working days after the item was posted, and the fact that the ebay acokitty was closed just after I posted, but before I marked item as dispatched. I'm just putting this one down to experience and also to warn others.

At least I now have Royal Mail's insurance to try and fall back on.
Thanks.

Just want to let you know about a happy ending to this - I got a cheque from Royal Mail yesterday for the full amount I lost after I put in a claim. May be worth you doing the local equivalent if ever anything is ever reported lost in transit.
