Paypal Shocker

[Pete S]

Bloke refused to pay insurance and so I sent it recorded, it went missing, he claimed the whole lot back off me..I contested it..they've given me the money back and paid him off! Is this a first?

Dear peter smith,

As you know, we were recently notified that one of your buyers filed a

chargeback with their card issuer. One of the unique benefits of PayPal is

that we help you fight unwarranted chargebacks and attempt to recover your

funds.

Because your transaction met the requirements of the unauthorised payment

protection, PayPal will cover the entire amount of the chargeback,

including the fees.

This case is now resolved. You don't need to take any additional action.

Yours sincerely,

PayPal

I have had 3 packages go missing since July - August, been to the post office quiet often as well for them not to have turned up and have had nothing through the door to say pick them up we missed you but 2 of them have been sent back to the sender. I had to pay extra postage on one of them.

Another package was taken back to the post office and a lady picked it up by mistake, I got that back 2 days later .

Nightmare.

They have had to as they are covered under the consumer credit act for some of the transactions and by the regulator and watchdog for financial services and banking for others. Good result though Pete.

As a full-time bookseller I have very few problems with the mail but when I do it is nearly always with Recorded Delivery. Trouble is postie very often doesn't put a slip through the door telling the recipient an attempt at delivery has been made. Package goes back to the depot and sits on the shelf for two weeks before being returned to sender. Because no slip has been put through the door the recipient has no idea that the package is awaiting pick-up at the depot.

Whenever I get a "where's my fcuking book" e-mail I always try and get the buyer to ask at their local depot as a first step. More often than not it is sitting there waiting for them.

A major time consuming pain in the arse.

You got your money back under the seller protection scheme because the buyer filed claim with His credit card and not through paypal resolution.

paypal is still full of danger unless item is sent by tracked method.

I've had a few classic stories this year...

Firstly I sold a record in September posted it the same week as the cheque cleared, two weeks later the buyer had no sign of the record arriving nor had he been given a slip.

So after much tooing and throwing between my post office and he's, we located the RECORDED item as sat in a sorting office in Preston. It was sent to Carlise. So I had to pay for the 45 to be re-shipped.

Secondly luckily not a record but a new CD wallet, obviously wouldnt fit through the door so the postie only went and left it in the garden recycling bin, on top of a pile of leaves and grass cuttings. I had been away so hadn't checked all the mail and the slip didn't even mention the green bin, only found it when emptying the rubbish. Git!

No, it was all done through paypal resolution and then much later he tried the chargeback thing.
