The Latest Changes @ Ebay / PayPal
You won't believe the changes a goin on @ Ebay. Even I had to check 'em twice , just to see what's the naughty or the nice.
Did you know , PayPal can withhold payment until satisfactory FEEDBACK is given ?
PayPal is starting to enforce mandatory insurance for shipping. This means , PayPal won't be using their guarantee , since insurance has been paid. You cannot collect twice for broken goods. This also negats PayPal's Consumer Confidence clause. " SO WHAT ? " , you ask. Well , it's like this - sellers are not buying the insurance you paid for , which means , you are UN insured. That's right. The seller is pocketing your insurance money. It will take about 105 days , to settle a dispute with PayPal judges. After a settlement with the seller has been agreed too , there is no way to force the seller to comply anyway. That's right , the seller has EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE , just like G. W.
Meanwhile , Ebay is becoming a hateful place to shop. I don't know what's in the water , butt , it is contagious. There's no such thing ass being careful enough. So , when you encounter a nasty seller , remember , that person cannot give you , " the buyer " , a negative feedback :)
So , you ask , why do I need PayPal ? There's only one reason. The seller cannot file with Ebay , a nonpayment complaint. Yes , UN reputable sellers are going for the double dip. Remember jcmtin ? He's not the only one , reading this blog.
