<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 3288650, member: 27832&quot;]Yep. That was what put the brakes on my eBay selling back in 2008 or so (I&#039;d been a Power Seller for several years before that). I listed, sold, and shipped an expensive camera for a friend, following regulations to a T, including shipping (via UPS) to the verified eBay/PayPal address. It got to the destination office, then there was an exception raised, as I remember &quot;recipient no longer at this address&quot; -- and the shipment was redirected to a new address that <i>wasn&#039;t</i> verified, <b>with no input from me</b>.</p><p><br /></p><p>This buyer had been squirrelly from the get-go, so I called eBay and PayPal immediately. The consensus was that, even though I&#039;d shipped to a verified address, and hadn&#039;t given permission for the shipment to be redirected, <b>I had NO protection</b> if the buyer decided to claim non-receipt/empty package/whatever. We ended up recalling the shipment, at <i>considerable</i> expense.</p><p><br /></p><p>And when I went to leave feedback warning other sellers about this buyer, well, <i>that&#039;s</i> when I learned that eBay no longer allowed sellers to leave negative or neutral feedback on buyers. Forget that, to paraphrase CeeLo Green (and borrow his radio edit).</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve cautiously dipped my toes back into selling over the last few years, but <i>much</i> more cautiously than before, and at nowhere near previous levels.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
