Reply to "First bad EBay experience"

I also had my first bad experience (been on Ebay since 1999). A bidder placed the winning bid. He was located in Japan. He gives me the address, told me how he wanted it shipped (cheapest possible way). I sent his purchase (a Berliner record from 1899) USPS first class insured. He claimed he never got it, even though the USPS said it arrived. He initiated a claim with PayPal. Even though I gave them the evidence that it arrived, they still ruled in his favor since they can't prove that he didn't receive it. The evidence (tracking # info) meant nothing to PayPal, neither did the Customs info. They issued a refund to this scammer, now my Paypal account is in the negative zone, and he gets to give me my first negative rating in 9 1/2 years of selling on ebay. I may just refuse Paypal for overseas purchases, or entirely, which is what a lot of people seem to be doing.
