Well that is it i am royally P#@@ed off

I sent a package you International Signed for to Japan

They said it was not delivered and it was showing as undelivered through the tracking

so Paypal took over £350 out of my account

today the post office says it has been delivered on the 26th December and so now I am stuffed

i asked for proof of delivery and they said they could not guarentee that the Japanise post office will provide it.

Now call me stupid but with a service called International Signed for. I would expect that I will be able to see it was signed for

but It looks like I have lost £350+  Hopping Mad Hopping Mad Hopping Mad Hopping Mad

No way! Well the next step is to get right back onto Paypal.

I know they are useless but the guy can't keep his money AND all these big cards!

We all need to put this buyer's ebay ID on our prohibited bidder list.

paypal should only hold your funds in the first place while you show proof that you sent the parcel (i had to send a fax of my international signed for slip) while they decide who is telling the truth.
i had a simlar problem just after xmas paypal with drew £150 i was well stressed out with it. what to say they have not already signed for it (or recived and not signed for it thats happend to me loads of times). lucky mine was just late and buyer withdrew complaint.
check to see if is held or given back to buyer. current eaby staus of there acount will help your case. dont give up and good luck

Ah, but Royal Mail says they show it was delivered on 26 December.  Shouldn't that be enough???

Good luck!

I am seriously starting to wonder why we pay Royal Mail for any insurance.  Whatever the circumstances they seem to have an excuse as to why they won't pay out  Hopping Mad

Me and Graham have also had ' experiences ' with International Signed for.  Luckily everything has turned out OK in the end but why is it that Royal Mail loose all tracking of the item as soon as it leaves the UK.  Surely just by the title it implies they will ensure a signature on delivery in another country and be able to provide a copy of this signature if necessary.  Now I am not saying this might not be difficult ie language barriers but if it is not possible then they should not offer this service and take our money.

Sorry Chris, this is not the least bit helpful to you.  You have my complete sympathy and I will keep my fingers crossed that Paypal will refund the money back to you now that you can prove the item was delivered.

one other thing i was tempted to do with expensive items is pay for
airsure (tracking)
international (signfor).
the trouble with pay pal they dont give you time to get info from post office has this takes months. when disonest people pick up on this i feel has i did around xmas people will do this more and more get expensive parcels, say they have not arrived, get money back then close there ebay and paypal acounts. 3 months later you get proof it was delivered, but what happens then ??. in the uk i dont understand why people dont use fast pay if i rember correct it is only 20p a transaction.

Maybe I'm being naive, but if your tracking/delivery confirmation states that the package was received on a particular date, you have followed PayPal guidelines and should get your money back.  Did you also tell PayPal that the buyer is no longer registered for non-payment of auction wins and that it's obvious this person lied about not receiving the cards?

Its a shame but the others seem to closing has well.

The British bank NatWest has posted a notice on its web site announcing the closure in July 2005 of its FastPay online person-to-person payment service.

NatWest is no longer accepting new customers and existing accounts will be closed on 15 July. The FastPay service, which was launched in August 2002 using a technology developed by Magex, allows anyone with an e-mail address or mobile telephone number to send or receive payments. Customers can also deposit or withdraw money from their FastPay account using a debit card or a bank card issued in the United Kingdom. The decision to close down this service was taken by the bank because of an insufficient number of users. In October 2004 the Yahoo portal closed its PayDirect person-to-person money transfer service, developed in collaboration with HSBC.

Banks are struggling to establish themselves on the person-to-person online payment market, which is very much dominated by PayPal, owned by E-Bay.

I have informed then that the buyer has received the cards and has fraudulantly claimed that they have not received the item and that the post office have confirmed that the item arrive 3 days after the claim was filed
