I believe that the letter of the law was literally infringed by the sellers incomplete declaration. I believe you could contact PayPal, opening a claim </font><font face="Arial Black">for improper receipt</font><font face="Arial Black">, subsequently immediately advancing to a case. I would claim that I was charged for 2 shipments, only receiving one, thus at least due the charges paid for the second shipment.</font></p><p><font face="Arial Black"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Arial Black">How soon we forget the arguments that eBay advanced for mandating PayPal payments. Their argument was that there wasn&#039;t an option for payment refund when non-receipt was claimed, buyers demanded - they responded by offering PayPal, thus generating ~3.5%+ additional corporate income. These additional costs have been passed to the customer by virtual elimination of open auctions (i.e. now majority offering BIN or high initial bid WO reserve).</font></p><p><font face="Arial Black"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Arial Black">If you properly research, I recall that the reason for appreciably escalating the </font><font face="Arial Black">most recent </font><font face="Arial Black">auction fees was that eBay had increased the revenue stream in EU by a similar amount, without significant loss of sellers. They unsuccessfully gambled on similar U.S. results, and now must again increased revenues. </font></p><p><font face="Arial Black"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Arial Black">I believe it is quite obvious what the next mandate/justification is inclined to be: Mandated Free Shipping is in order, with BIN or, no reserve - high initial bid auctions, justified by their greatest buyer complaint factor. EBay receives their greatest profit from &quot;Free Shipping&quot; sales. </font></p><p><font face="Arial Black"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Arial Black">The initiator of this thread could have received the items he purchased for ~$2 additional/coin, with free shipping. He saved the ~$2.25 which eBay would have additionally charged the seller. I believe you&#039;ll find Buyers to be their own worst enemy, seemingly eliminating the last of the economical competitive auction sites, reducing the selections available, and the avenues for redress.</font></p><p><font face="Arial Black"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Arial Black">The choices are rapidly being diminished, as more sellers realize that a B&amp;M facility has greater profitability, now that virtually all auction sites are increasing buyers fees, and reducing selection availability. I think you&#039;ll find EBay is generally the last expanded resource,&nbsp; competitive auction site. I&#039;m certain they would rather emulate eBid who distances itself from complaints, has generally higher fees/item sold, considerably fewer categories, and controls the buyer/seller communications.</font></p><p><font face="Arial Black"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Arial Black">&quot;Watch What You Ask For . . . .&quot; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></font></p><p><font face="Arial Black"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Arial Black"></font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
