Opening a Paypal claim

I bought something on Ebay, I paid, it never arrived.

What are the consequences for me (as a buyer) if I want my money back through a Paypal claim?

Don't know mate - but I do know what it's like from the other end!

A buyer said he never received an item I sold and posted. He puts a claim in with Paypal, but all I have is a proof of postage - NOT a proof of delivery! - and so they debit my account with the total amount! End of...

I still very much doubt that he was being genuine after all the stories I have read on the matter.

I think I will now adopt the same stance that others have on here regarding International postage - only send items insured in the future!

No offence meant of course Juha.

Put in a dispute through ebay and you will normally get your money back. It takes a while but the buyer always seems to get priority!

I think both Chris and I said exactly the same thing but just in different ways - ebay really does favour the buyer.

In your case that's good news Juha, but in mine not so good!

He should have sent it insured, his fault, I don't mind paying for the privilege.

I suppose having a 100% record will be quite helpful for my case.

as said above it takes a while but the buyer seems to always win.
ive had it from both ends,i losted when i was selling....i won when i was buying!
best of luck juha.
