Ebay Hassles

Post by Sir Savant »

So About 3 weeks ago I went buying on ebay. A couple of things arrived here, but two items didn't, both from different shippers. Apparently they did arrive in New York (one has delivery confirmation, and the other should have but I have no confirmation for that one) , but there is no record of them here at my University (which is where I get all my mail). I did order shipping on both items.

Is there any way for me to get my money back on the items, either through PayPal+Ebay or the Post Office? It's like $50 down the drain. Anyone have any similar experiences?

It's not really fair to get your money back from the seller, since they did ship the items.

Why did the seller ship them to New York? Is your address with Paypal out of date? If so its 100% your fault. Ebay sellers are required to mail your auction to the address given with paypal. IF they don't they set themselves up for a charge back.

I meant from insurance, as in the post office. I understand that it isn't fair, I was wondering if the stupid insurance counts for anything or if that only is in effect for damaged goods.

I live in NY. I had it shipped here. I was merely stating that it appears to have been delivered, at least to the city, if not my University.

Insurance is good for lost items as well. Inquire at your local post office (not the dorm mail center, the real post office) about it.
