Is This A Ebay Scam Help?

[Shan]

Ok say for instance i sent out a package to someone and they say it hasnt arrived ( if its not recorded) If they are lieing do i have to send another 1 out because i dont know if he is scamming me or not... Feels weird

Ebay will always side with the buyer even if they are lying.

Sadly you will come across this type of moron buying from you now and again, just block them.

I would just refund them and block them if I couldn't prove it got there.

That's the cost of business.

Their is no legal requirement for you to send another one out if you have proof you sent one . It is the mails fault not yours
Unless it was next day delivery then you have to give them a refund

unfortunately if an item isn't sent 'signed for' there is no way of telling if a purchaser is telling the truth or not and generally with Ebay if an item isn't received you have to either replace or refund. Personally I always obtain a certificate of posting for every item that I send out. It doesn't cost any extra but you can claim compensation up to 10 x standard postage rate. For anything worth more than about £40 I send the item 'signed for' which costs about 90p extra (not sure of the exact amount off hand). It doesn't actually pay out any extra compensation than a free certificate of posting but at least you have proof of delivery if someone is lying about not receiving an item.

Good tip (after 7 years experience on ebay) do NOT send anything out without it needing a signature on delivery unless you are prepared to lose it ! Most ebayers are actually honest but there are still a lot of dishonest ones out there. The other week someone sent me a 200 quid laptop by standard parcels - no signature required - which was a pretty stupid thing to do, or it would have been if i had not had my present over 1900 feed backs with every one a positive. It was a good deal and i gave him a positive but it was a silly thing for him to have done. No signature required and you can leave it a week then say not received mate. If they say item not received and open an ebay dispute, ebay will look at both your records, if he has a better feedback than you ebay will probably find in his favour and tell you to either refund him or send a replacement item.
