<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 2202154, member: 27832&quot;][USER=70583]@jwitten[/USER], I&#039;m sorry that you took a loss on this. Given eBay&#039;s standard approach to Buyer Protection, though, I&#039;m afraid I&#039;m not surprised.</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess the only way a seller can protect himself against this type of attack is through insurance. If the package really <i>was</i> torn and emptied during shipment -- either by faulty equipment/handling or by criminal activity -- that would be fair grounds for an insurance claim. If the buyer is lying, well, he&#039;d need to defend that lie to the Post Office, which seems a bit more intimidating than just filing an eBay dispute.</p><p><br /></p><p>It certainly <i>is</i> possible that this is a bad/fraudulent buyer, but it&#039;s also possible that he&#039;s dealing with a bad PO employee at his end. If I were in his shoes, having received several torn and empty packages, I&#039;d be talking to the PO about it. I&#039;d also be contacting each seller I buy from <i>in advance</i>, advising them of the situation and asking them to make sure they package my shipments with extra care.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
