EBAY and PAYPAL are inter-related. the same company. my
experience is that they protect sellers, never purchasers no matter how
ridiculous the sellers' position is. and guess, what...........i made the
mistake of using the PAYPAL VISA credit card to get unlimited sending access
with paypal.
when i was cheated by a french seller (non-movie poster
item)........... NO HELP FROM EBAY. NO HELP FROM PAYPAL.
.........and, naturally, NO HELP FROM PAYPAL VISA.
had i used my american express gold card----the best credit company to help
assist when you had an unscrupulous seller, i would have had no
problem.
i never paid the amount charged with PAYPAL VISA, which i put in
dispute. The unscrupulous french seller got paid. Paypal
Visa refused the charge-back. So closed the Visa account, and kept
the balance. let them sue me.....they wont!!!
I now use american express only.........and when i reach a limit, start a
new account (new email address.) recently the sending limit was raised to
10,000.
Paypal's position with me was that if i return the heavy item to france, i
would have to pay the 40-50 shipping fee (since i would need the item to be
tracked), and they would give me the purchase price of about 120.
sometimes they said they would refund the orig shipping, but not all reps said
this. so, to get 120 refund, i would have to spend 40-50. the Paypal
Visa call ceneter, which sometimes are sent to india phone centers, have polite
people, but they provide no help to the purchaser.
------------------------------
i learned that the only time paypal really helps is if you report the item
as NOT BEING RECEIVED. so i can envision a
scenario.................. buy what is described as a mint poster.
complain to ebay, paypal or paypal visa that it was a reproduction, they will
rarely help, and put the burden on you to prove the falsity, and pay
expensive shipping return. maybe you will win. BUT, if you lie and
say you didn't get the poster...........you will get an automatic refund
within a timeframe if the sender cannot prove item was received.
HOWEVER....I WOULD NEVER NEVER NEVER LIE. but isn't that a
simpler resolution if someone was willing to lie? I WOULD NEVER
LIE.............but i am sure people who have been burnt do.
that's why it is worth the 55cents to use USPS tracking-delivery
confirmation. but, you cannot do this with international mail. that
might be why some do not send overseas.

BUT, NEVER LIE.................. i was merely making a
point. &&& use american
