<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 1209656, member: 27832&quot;]That doesn&#039;t sound like my experience with crooked PayPal deals.</p><p><br /></p><p>In my experience, the buyer won the auction, sent the funds, then WITHIN AN HOUR filed an &quot;item not received&quot; complaint. (This was a couple of years ago; PayPal might have imposed some common-sense constraints since then, but I wouldn&#039;t count on it.) This froze the funds. Then, a couple of hours later, PayPal sent a notice that the hold was lifted, and I could go ahead and send the item.</p><p><br /></p><p>For reasons that I won&#039;t go into right now, I ended up sending the item -- trackable, with delivery confirmation, to a confirmed address, so I&#039;d get Seller Protection coverage. But when UPS tried to deliver the package, they raised a &quot;recipient no longer at this address&quot; exception, and rerouted the package -- WITHOUT CONSULTING ME -- to a new address, which, of course, was not PayPal confirmed.</p><p><br /></p><p>I, and the guy whose item I was selling, decided to recall the shipment. If we hadn&#039;t, the &quot;buyer&quot; could&#039;ve claimed &quot;Item Not Received&quot;, and we wouldn&#039;t have had a leg to stand on. And that was the last time I tried to sell anything on eBay.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your case is different, though. If you&#039;ve shipped the item with tracking, and it gets delivered to a confirmed address, it shouldn&#039;t be you who eats the loss -- by explicit PayPal/eBay policy, not just by &quot;what&#039;s fair&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please keep us posted.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
