<p>[QUOTE="NotSure, post: 1085981, member: 20034"]My transaction WAS paid for with Paypal. I never use any other form of payment for numismatic related items....I won't even use the 'gift' option, as the 'gifting' option nullifies all buyer protection. Paypal refused the claim because there was a signature. Paypal simply runs the tracking number, and if it shows 'delivered' and 'signed for', they automatically decline the claim, even if it's signed by someone that doesn't live in your house. Even if you get a copy of the signature, and explain to Paypal the person doesn't live there, you don't know them, etc, it matters not...the seller/shipper followed the rules, there's a signature, that's that. of my item. I could still chargeback my CC, but don't want the seller to take the hit for the USPS's obvious theft. If they decided to decline the appeal, which I'm assured they won't, then a CC chargeback would then be in order...but the seller would take the hit, and in this case, neither buyer nor seller should have to eat the $600 for an obvious theft by a dishonest postal employee. It's getting bad, and seems the only safe way is registered, as each employee that touches it has to sign for it, so there is a paper trail. With simple delivery or signature confirm, there isn't, and with those stickers on the package, sometimes temptation is too great. </p><p> </p><p>As an aside, it doesn't appear the seller in the OP's item used delivery confirm, he just used insurance. There are TONS of buyers on ebay that just wait to see that, and claim non-delivery. An insurance tag is NOT considered by Paypal to be confirmation of delivery, so, you ebay sellers, make SURE you have delivery confirm for up to $250, and signature confirm for anything over $250.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
