Paypal ALWAYS favors the buyer. I really don't understand their logic

Yeah that's a no no, I stopped international long ago. One time I sold an XBOX 360 out of the country and somehow the item was 'lost' between theU.S. and international shipping. Another time I sent an item to Asia and I ended up losing the $ and the item after a 'failure of delivery'. Not worthit.

Yea, shipping to a country where its not possible for the person to be confirmed is always a risk. Actually, I just recently sold a pair of shoes to agentleman in France. He was mad sneaky about it not telling me it would be sent to France but he slid me some extra money so I went with it and all was good.

To dudes talking about closing their bank accounts. They will send your stuff to collections. TRUST me.
Also to the dudes who are selling internationally. Its a tracking number that comes with the package if its over 4lbs they will ship it priority international.Track that package on the slip. As for regular overseas mail under 4lbs. I dont know about all that

Last year they suspended my account due to suspicious activity. I had sold 2 pairs of the finale xx3 for 2400 and they held the money for a month and a half. Idont even mess with them anymore. They act like people dont have bills to pay.

the only problem is you DON"T HAVE TO USE ebay or paypal so its not a monopoly (still is to me) but not in the law books

One of the reasons I don't mess with shipping internationally, not even to Canada or Mexico. This happened to me a few years back. They actually have muchbetter policies to protect sellers now (for example now you can send to unconfirmed buyers in the US), but still it's a risk sending overseas IMO, and toomuch trouble to send it out..(filling out those forms at USPS after waiting in line..no thanks).
They also have some shady rules that most people don't know about, until you get screwed. For example, if an item is sold for over $215 USD, you need toput both tracking AND signature confirmation on the item. If you don't, and the buyer claims they didn't receive it - you're screwed. You'dthink eBay would try to inform sellers of this, but no...it's hidden in one of their agreements or FAQ pages.

Anytime I get a payment through paypal, I use their site to pay for the shipping costs & print it online. Extremely easy and your back is covered. Trackinginfo is provided on their transaction. Years using it, and never had a problem from a seller's stand point. (shipping internationally along with theUS)(Always shipped USPS priority, most of the time I add sig confirmation as well.)

I usually do set up shipping through PayPal but they don't offer First Class online. Oh well, Lesson learned. At least this happened on a $40sale and not on the J's I'm about to list.

I stopped messing with Paypal to sell items after I went through a similar situation. I only use the service to buy things these days.

Yea I don't do international shipping anymore because I had the same thing happen to me on a Finley jersey, a Nike one, back when they made the authentiesout of drifit. Like you said, you end us losing the money x 2, AND the item, and in some cases a negative feedback or strike on your account. I know 100% surethat dude has that jersey too

I may have lucked out. One of the eBay users I messaged responded saying that they just got a dispute from the same user today too. Hopefully PayPaldoesn't see this as a coincidence.
