NEW PayPal Fraud - I freaking HATE PayPal...
Just wanted to drop this tidbit off on anyone who sells on ebay and sends internationally.
DON'T SEND VIA AIRMAL!!! I cannot stress this enough. Most people on the forums will realize if they want tracking and insurance they will need to pay up for EMS. However, no one uses EMS due to the high expense, Airmail is typically 2/3 or 3/4 cheaper.
The fraud is right there in PayPal. They require you to supply a tracking number in case of a Buyer Complaint. So what happens? Buyer pays for auction via PayPal, wants Airmail, then claims to PayPal that they never recieved the item.
It doesn't matter how much proof you fax or scan for them, they require a tracking number. I'm out close to $300 because this has happened 4 times in the past month.
Don't let this happen to you! Just wanted to warn the community!
Thanks,
Andy
PS: for anyone who actually wants free games, there you go. I'm not going to do it, but maybe if no one sells internationally anymore Ebay will shut the Buyer Protection down...
