Just FYI: Paypal Buyer Protection doesn't cover private transactions off ebay for anything except non-shipment of an item though. If it arrives damaged or isn't what you purchased, they won't side with the buyer.

I don't think this is entirely true (unless I am blatantly being lied to by paypal). I am in a dispute with an online merchant, whereby I have a case opened. Paypal told me that they side with the buyer in these cases.

Re: Problem With Guu Member Uwmrules09

i have had an experience with being hit with a PayPal dispute from a buyer from GUU. (might be a little lengthy, sorry)

i sold some items that were pretty heavily discounted and told the buyer that i was willing to pick up the shipping, but nothing else (delivery confirm, insurance, etc...) .

i shipped the items via USPS Priority and only had the receipt as proof of shipment. the buyer claimed he never received the items and filed a claim with PayPal.

the box was approx 12 x 12 x 6 and not distinguishable as to what the contents could have been. fair market for the items was in the $150-$200 range and i ultimately settled on a price of less than $100.

the buyer sent email after email claiming he never received the package and after numerous visits to the post office and calls to the post office in the buyers city, i was not able to verify that the package was delivered or not delivered.

the funny thing about this whole thing was that i had an uneasy feeling about the buyer during his initial inquiry but being in desperate need for money, i went against my better judgment. i honestly believe that he did in fact get the items he had paid for and tried to pull one over on me.

there were other items sold and shipped that week to GUU members and all found their way without any issues.

i contacted PayPal and pleaded my case, but they still sided with the buyer, even after sending copies of the emails and my postal receipt (showing his post office location and date shipped)

i havent used PayPal since and do not intend to in the future because of this.

For .65 cents extra I always add delivery confirmation.....

Sorry you got burned....

This really was not paypal's fault, they had no choice but to side with the buyer...........

Yep. And insurance unless you can eat the loss if it gets lost. Until it's in the buyer's hands, it's still yours.

If you print the shipping label on USPS.com, you get delivery confirmation for free.

That is through Paypal, not USPS.com, Sorry.

No, you were right, you get dc for free when you print a label through usps.com. you also get an online discount. i always print labels online, even when sending stuff to family.
