I'm sorry that happened to you (and everbody: IT WASN'T ME!!!!!!
), but that really has nothing to do with Paypal. Do you know why I make delivery confirmation MANDATORY?
Well, first, after I send the item with USPS, I send the buyer the tracking numbers to check on usps.com. That way they know I really sent it.
And two, (and this part really does benefit me) if the package never gets there, I have the number to back me up if they make a Paypal claim.
Cuz, wanna know what happened to me????
Some lady bought perfume off me a few years ago from eBay. She paid a decent amount of money (don't remember how much, but like $30-$50). Anyway, it arrived in Canada, but the Canadian government wouldn't deliver it to her because they didn't allow perfume into the country via mail!!!!! How was I supposed to know? SHE lived in that country, she should have known not to buy it! Well guess what???????? She wrote Paypal, and said she never got it!!!!!!!!! Well, I didn't have a tracking number, so they GAVE HER HER MONEY BACK because there was no way of tracking it!!!!!!!! Can you believe that crap? It still makes me POed!!!! I even called eBay and Paypal, but without a paper record, I'm screwed!
But, for YOUR information. If that ever happens to you in the future and you decided to give Paypal another try either pay the 50 cents for delivery confirmation, or claim your loss through Paypal. Hey!!!! I wonder if you could still claim it through Paypal? You might wanna check out their site.
One more thing? What did the seller say when you never got the package?
