[QUOTE="TypeCoin971793, post: 2852474, member: 78244"]A few weeks ago, someone went through my eBay and bought $800 worth of stuff. Not trusting USPS with that kind of value, I sent it Registered. It has been sent to his PO Box, and I assume he has gotten a notification slip. [ATTACH=full]677215[/ATTACH] And there it has sat for over a week. I have sent two messages reminding the buyer, without any response (he has not responded to any of my messages, regardless if the subject). If the coins come back, I believe I have to refund the buyer the $800, which is not something I can comfortably afford doing right now. Do I threaten him with a 20% restocking fee for the inconvenience of him neglecting to pick up the package after multiple reminder attepts (is this even permissible)? This is a buyer with over 5000 feedback, which is why I did not think too hard about him wanting to scam me. Is it possible that he had that intention, but since I sent it in a secured fashion, he chickened away? This whole deal felt a little "off" from the start, but it keeps feeling worse every passing day. All I know is that I do not want to get screwed with an $800 refund because he was too lazy (or something potentially more sinister) to go pick up a package.
