I sold a few cards over the past couple weeks, a couple fairly high end card ($200-$300 range). I've always been a buyer not so much a seller, so I admittedly probably made some mistakes and could have protected myself better but I'm just wondering where PayPal or Ebay will go with in my matter...
In the interest of full disclosure the card sold for around $250, buyer paid within a day or two, I shipped next day, didn't get special insurance (I think you actually get either $50 or $100 insurance automatically using the method I shipped but not even sure about that). Tracking confirms card was delivered in/at the PayPal address several days ago. Today the buyer messages me and says that he wanted to wait a few days, but although the tracking says the item arrived he never got anything. He has solid feedback and because he said he didn't get anything versus saying he got a box with nothing inside it I'm inclined to believe him. I've bought so, so, so many cards on eBay but this did happen to me once, card wound up still being at my local PO and I wound up receiving it. I suggested the buyer try the same thing, go to their local PO and say hey this item says delivered but never got a thing can you check if it's around somewhere and he said he would do that (again, I could be being fooled but I don't think this is a case of buyer fraud). So in the likelihood that this card is gone (which as a collector first and foremost sucks because it's a really cool card), what's going to happen to me? Am I gonna be screwed even with all my tracking and stuff? I'm assuming I'm screwed...
