Hello, Everybody:
Last year I was asked by PAYPAL for my bank refence, and I offered them my
local bank details, in Qatar - I work in the middle east - but they insisted
on my UK bank address - where my credit card is issued and where I have my
purchases shipped.When I refused, they cancelled my paypal account. I dealt
with paypal for over a year and thousands of dollars in transactions.
For sometime after that I paid directly to those who would agree to the
transaction.
I was surprised at some US sellers refusing to accept WESTERN UNION payment
in ADVANCE of shipment. I am very wary of sending credit card information by
email.
Only once did I lose my bet on the honesty of the ebay advertisers.
Strangely enough, for several months afterwards Paypal would send me notices
of people attempting to use my account, and some such rubbish. I have never
made an Ebay purchase since, mostly because of paypal.
Goodwishes to all, John

Subject: [rollei_list] OT: 1st real EBAY trouble in 10+ years...
Austin,
thanks for sharing your experience. I do have proof of shipping
which my PO already verified, but not delivery. PayPal also knows the
item left the US. It seems to me if I have proof of shipping the
item they should not be able to chargeback the funds I was paid, but
the buyer should get his $$ back via the shipping insurance. But
what do I know...
If the buyer actually received the item, he is very good at faking
grief / upset over loss. But I don't wan't to assume that ("in dubio
pro reo" etc.). He is communicating profusely and, it seems, just
impatient.
This will change how, or if, I ship to China again.
All this said my experience with EBAY/PayPal has been 98% positive
over the last 10 years. But fees are becoming prohibitive and it's
time they got some sophisticated competition.

You will have your shipping refunded in the USPS claim, if they
honor it.
Can you show proof of delivery? You're required to provide some
form of
proof of delivery for eBay/PayPal to honor seller protection, but
if the
item was simply not delivered, then you have to file claim with the
shipper.
Priority to HK can take a while. You used to be able to put a
"tracer" on a
package, you may want to check with USPS about that.
...
Best Regards,
Austin
