I RECENTLY SOLD ON EBAY A 36X24 FRAMED CASINO ART PIECE .... $475 + $65 SHIPPING. NEXT MORNING I WENT TO U-HAUL AND PURCHASED A LARGE MIRROR BOX WITH PROTECTIVE CORNERS & BUBBLE WRAP ... ($22) .... WENT OVER TO THE UPS DROP OFF STATION ON BONANZA RD. $53 SHIPPING. ......

THE NEXT DAY I GET AN EMAIL MESSAGE FROM PAY PAL THAT THE CUSTOMER CLAIMS A NON AUTHORIZED PAYMENT TO US. ..... WE CALLED EBAY AND THEY SAID FOR US TO CALL PAY PAL AND THEY HAVE NO RE-COURSE IN DEALING WITH THIS SALE ONCE A DISPUTED PAYMENT IS OPENED WITH PAY PAL. .... I LEFT 2 MESSAGES WITH PAY PAL ... (NO RETURN CALLS) ... SENT 2 EMAILS TO PAY PAL ... (NOTHING) .... I EMAILED MY CUSTOMER WHO HIT THE BUY IT NOW BUTTON .... AND SHE CLAIMS HER HUSBAND SAID HE DID NOT PURCHASE IT .... I STATED THAT IT WAS ALREADY PACKED & SHIPPED OUT .... AND THE AUCTION WAS A NO RETURN FINAL SALE AUCTION ... GUESS WHAT ??? ... I HAD TO HURRY OVER TO UPS AND ISSUE A RETURN SHIPPING ORDER. AFTER 3 DAYS I FINALLY GO MY BOX BACK AND BY THEN PAY PAL ALREADY ISSUED MY CUSTOMER A FULL REFUND ... NOT EVEN WANTING TO GET THE FACTS ETC. ....

NO PROTECTION FOR THE SELLER WHO QUICKLY PACKED & SHIPPED SOLD ITEM TO GET A 5 STAR RATING FOR EBAY. .... TIME & MATERIAL LOST BY US ... I WOULD THINK THAT THE BUYER WOULD BE ON THE HOOK FOR THE SHIPPING EXPENSE AT LEAST ... OVER 9000 EBAY GOOD AUCTIONS ...I GUESS IT WAS DUE TO HAPPEN ... ANY WAY THAT'S MY RANT .... AND " REMEMBER YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU"
