Complaint Review: PayPal - Internet

Wow, perhaps you shouldn't post responses when you don't know all the facts.  If you read before jumping to discredit people you would see... I printed the postage through the eBay/PayPal link as I always have.  I'm not a professional eBayer.  I followed the shipping links that I was lead to and for your information... I DID insure the phones. The fact that someone overseas filed a claim after 15 days (during the holidays) is the biggest red flag of a scam.  I'm surprised you can't see that--being as wise and all knowing as you claim to be.  Unlike you, I've never shipped overseas.  This was only my second time.  I WOULD have shipped another way if I KNEW I was being blindly lead down this path by eBay and PayPal.  My shipping label had a USPS TRACKING NUMBER on it.  That was what my point was.  It's called a tracking number and it does nothing when you use it to track.  How on earth was I supposed to know that (unless I had YOUR crystal ball). The point of my post was how it was handled by PayPal.  Issuing a refund after 22 days of the date of sale is ridiculous.  I am posting on here to warn others who deal with eBay and PayPal,  not to ship overseas through paypal and the USPS like I did.  Perhaps YOU would be better served on a blog somewhere that you can vent your high and mighty opinion in a more juvenile atmosphere and let the adults share info on here. If you respond again (I'm sure you can't resist)...can you tell us all where to purchase a crystal ball like you use???

You ought not be shipping anything you can't track definitely to delivery. How do you know the New Zealand customer is scamming you? Do you have email/other documentation that you advised them how long it might be in transit?

Granted, the crushed Iphone customer probably scammed you, but did they claim the shipping package itself arrived damaged, or the box was fine and the phone crushed?

You should be insuring everything you ship for the minimum amount you need back should something happen in transit. If you failed to insure these phones, then you have only yourself to blame.

Spend more to ship overseas with a carrier that will provide tracking to the end, or don't ship overseas.

As an occasional Ebay customer, I'm glad to see Paypal will not stick me with a charge for goods not received.
