I've posted this before somewhere...here it is again.
I sold an item on ebay, and the buyer was located in China. We agreed upon 10 day shipping from USPS.
Four days after I shipped the item, he files a dispute with paypal. The full 10 days required for shipping hadn't even gone by. So paypal asks me for the tracking number. The tracking number does not work, because the USPS tracking system is hopeless. I think it is only a "Delivery confirmation" type of thing. Since paypal can't track the package, they take $110 from me, and hand it over to the buyer.
After a few more days, the tracking number CP046020284US shows that the package has been delivered. I tell paypal this, and I don't get a response after ~2 weeks. I've also lost contact with the buyer.
Has anyone else gone through this? Is there any way to get my money back? Paypal has not been helpful at all, they never returned my email.
So, if anyone has any advice...let me know.
