I have talked with many sellers who have had problems with buyers in foreign countries denying receipt of shipped goods and tracking does not work effectively in most overseas countries if at all. There is a wise lesson there. bcd01 - devices of enjoyment list

I could care less how many awesome-smooth transactions you've had that won't make me change my mind.

Or, could the seller have used a service like UPS that would be able to track internationally? That would have shown that the seller took the steps to assure himself that the order could be tracked to the buyer's door; then the seller would have had proof to show Ebay and PayPal that the camera definitely was received.

Mar 15, 2012 15:54 | #14 My wife sells a bunch of stuff on eBay. I grumble a bit about it, but she still seems pretty carefree about it. She hasn't gotten burned yet - even shipping internationally - but I think it's just a matter of time. We have taken a couple of items back and issued refunds. http://www.avidchick.com

We have taken a couple of items back and issued refunds. There was a post on Regretsy not too long ago where the seller sold an antique violin that had proof of authenticity from an expert. The buyer claimed it was counterfeit, and despite the seller's verifiable proof, Paypal forced the seller to issue a refund, and had the buyer DESTROY THE VIOLIN. http://www.regretsy.com …1/03/from-the-mailbag-27/

. Then again if it gets some serious hits and they get some bad PR they might do the right thing. When I sell stuff on ebay I refuse to ship internationally, just too risky unfortunately, because Paypal will almost always side w/the buyer and you can't post negative feedback.
