We have all heard the old adage buyer beware – and since the dawn of the internet age this advice has never been more useful.
But if you are a seller on ebay then you also need to beware.
If you accept payment by cheque or credit card it’s easy to see that you may can lose out through rubber cheques or chargebacks.
But the trouble is paypal is not much if any better.
If a buyer decides to dispute the receipt of the goods or their quality paypal will almost always come down on their side and issue the refund. If a buyer does raise a claim then you are in most cases better off cutting your losses and paying them before paypal get involved because you will likely be wasting your time.
But hey at least you can give them negative feedback – er no your options are leave positive feedback, leave feedback later.
If you are selling on ebay any items for a value of £10+ a good policy is to always send by courier or signed for delivery – if the delivery is not signed for and the buyer disputes receipt you will not have a leg to stand on.
