<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 1924672, member: 27832&quot;]Yeah, I had someone send me a $50 AGE with no signature confirmation. I didn&#039;t ding him on DSR or feedback -- heck, he saved me a trip to the PO -- but I did point out to him that an unethical buyer could&#039;ve said &quot;I didn&#039;t get the coin&quot; and he would&#039;ve been out ALL the money.</p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s a nastier attack that works even if you DO require a signature. Buy the item, get it shipped to a confirmed address, but when it arrives there, tell the carrier that the person named no longer lives there and give a forwarding address. UPS, at least, will forward it on without requiring any confirmation from the sender. When it arrives at the new address, someone can sign for it -- but, since <i>that new address is not PayPal/eBay verified</i>, it doesn&#039;t count for Seller Protection.</p><p><br /></p><p>I had someone try this when I was selling (for a friend) a $1600 camera. PayPal and eBay both confirmed that we would <i>not</i> be covered if we let the shipment go through. So, we recalled the shipment, and ate the (hefty) expense. That was also when I learned that sellers could no longer leave negative feedback for buyers, and so that was when I became an ex-seller.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
