This is gonna be a mega rant. Sorry. I am so frustrated and pissed off today.
Who here uses eBay? Who here uses shitty PayPal? Well, yeah me too, I've had 3 disputes, and throughout my 3 year history, have maintained 100% feedback, and am confirmed etc etc ...blah blah blah.
Well, I received a claim from a buyer claiming they didnt receive an item. This item was sent over 2 months ago and the buyer has magically claimed they didnt receive it. Here's the problem:
Thiefs exploiting key loopholes in PayPal sytem. Buyer bought an item off myself and paid via PayPal, they did not want to pay extra shipping international charges, so agreed via email (which I still have) that 1st class intl mail was ok, then 2 months later a claim is made to PayPal saying they never received the item in question. (Bearing in mind the buyer doesnt email me directly and let em know) PayPal have said unless the buyer cancels the claim, they will clearly issue the buyer with a refund as no tracking info has been provided, and has now left Honest sellers like myself out of pocket. I rang PayPal to express my concerns that anybody can exploit this loophole and rob sellers easily and quickly. I gave the Paypal representative an example as follows: If I were to purchase an item from somebody I knew, pay via PayPal and request that the item be sent via standard mail, receive the item , then file an "item not received" dispute, unless the seller provides tracking information to PayPal, PayPal would eventually refund my money , thus leaving the "seller" out of pocket and me having both the item and the money I paid for FREE. That way, sydicates take place and problems like this still continue. I can then go ahead and create various email addresses and do the same thing again and again. Regardless of confirmed or unconfirmed addresses and PayPal's protection programmes, they continue to overlook this key problem and it puts sellers like myself in such frustration and most of all, out of pocket...
Now, it is 100% unlikely the buyer will cancel the claim. I will now be out of pocket and am so annoyed this happens.
I hate PayPal. It has put a real downer on me selling things on eBay and really pissed me off big time.
I dont even wanna eat. Don't feel hungry and Feel crap at work shouting at everyone and being a right dragon. TOTM doesnt help either.
Thanks for reading - gonna go and continue to be pissed off now.
