<p>[QUOTE="samjimmy, post: 244280, member: 3813"]The first thing we need to know is how did you pay for the item? If it was through PayPal, then you need to go to PayPal and file a dispute (that you never received the item). They will ask the seller for tracking info (delivery conf., ins., etc.) and if he cannot provide it, PayPal will attempt to take the money from the seller's account. Sellers often don't do what it takes to protect themselves, and some even get huffy once they realize this (thinking it's your problem when it isn't, or that PayPal is cheating them). As was said, the bottom line is that insurance protects the seller, not the buyer. It is the seller, insuring the safe delivery of the item to you, not the other way around.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, if PayPal cannot recover funds for you, the only real option is to sue the seller in court (which isn't worth the time and money for $20), but I can tell you from experieince that even with higher amounts, you can win a judgment against someone but that doesn't mean you'll ever see the money.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
