Matt is spot on.
I had some POS send me a empty padded bag recently. Suspected it was empty so i rang paypal who told me I wont be covered if i video it and to take it to the post office and open it there in the presence of a postal worker.
It was empty so the post office manager signed a stat dec. Paypal refunded me within about 15 minutes of me uploading the stat dec.
I have considered making a document with images of the items being sent and then pack it in front of the post staff, get them to sign it to say it was posted. Most PO's have a JP (I have yet to ask him if he would do it though). Wonder if that would give you some protection?
I can't remember if I put it in the thread but paypal said they refuse to look at/consider video evidence as there is the chance for people to digitally alter them. Sure, they may be right, but to put it in the too hard basket (which is what they've done by siding with the buyer every time) is ridiculous but in the long term yes, would save them some money. It sucks, it really does.
And read it I did... The number of scammers on ebay rises by the day. I've had a account from the year 2000. I think I have been pretty lucky up until the last 2 years, not having a single claim in the first 12 years but the last 2 have been terrible... Have had 6 people claiming they have not received items and 2 of those I know they made there destination but still, every single f***ing time the buyer has won the claim, there is no protection anymore for sellers, who's going to pay $25 for registered post for a $10 card or even $30 card and then you still lose. I have 2 more people claiming out of the last batch I sold. My ebay selling days are over, the risk has become to great...

Just out of interest - does anyone here use third party postage insurance? That must be an option for big $$ sales....
Not familiar with it. So it's an option for the seller on eBay checkout?
