well, first mistake is shipping overseas.. I recently sold a pretty big lot of starwars.. some guy begged and pleaded.. I said nope.
the best option for you is to have all his emails that was conversed back and forth and save it as evidence. I would call ebay.. they usually assign you a code that you give them when you call in. After that, you can forward the rep all the emails and receipts. I hope you kept all the receipts from post office or shipping company. You should be ok if you have all evidence proving you shipped the item.

Hi,
I am an overseas buyer and ebay user myself. I think he's jumping the gun if he's already opened a dispute. After all air mail can take upto 6 weeks to arrive. Judging from that knowledge i'd say he's either really anxious and impatient, he suspects your not being honest or he indeed is trying to screw you over. I've had 2 or 3 disputes as a seller and maybe 2 as a buyer and all I can say is hold on to your e-mail correspondence. It is the only proof you have. Dropping e-bay isn't much of an advice, seeing that it doesn't get you anywhere now. Proper use of the feedback system pretty much weeds out the bad seeds. E-bay gets you a much larger chance of profit and coverage than any forum will ever give you. What you did sounds right and those are usually the terms under which I buy as well. You can of course check my feedback and join date to know that my information and tips can be quite helpful. Heck some of you guys might even have sold me stuff. My ebay handle is sci-find_eelco |

Sadly, given what you've said, ebay will for sure side with the buyer. He more than likely will get his money back and the toys. That's just the way ebay and Pay pal are these days, the buyer, even if a 100% lying crooked thief, is always right. That's why I haven't sold on there in a year.

I fell bad for you. So far my ebay selling has been great. In the end you will probably lose. The ebay aholes do not care about sellers only buyers.

If you drop ebay, I suggest you remove your credit/debit info from paypal. You are not responsible man, he didn't want insurance, he wanted the cheapest rate, and I'm 100% sure he'll get his money back, so I would remove remove my info from paypal. I'm not sure if it mess your credit up though.

Isn't that what delivery confirmation protects against? Were you able to purchase it shipping overseas?..

The receipt has the customs number on it. You can investigate where it is at from that. It should start with a "LC" I think. Good luck. I've been lucky so far with my overseas. I've done the Phillippines, France, and multiple locations in S. America plus Canada plenty of times. I always send the customs number to give proof. E bay does suck for sellers but if you want that paper sometimes you gotta use it.
You can't use a delivery confirmation out of the country. You have to send it registered mail I believe. Basically the same thing but it is about $10. |

I have shipped a few times to other countries. I remember a deal to Austrailia that took quite a few weeks...
