<b,121<b,121Is there a thread somewhere that contains bad bidders??<b,121If not, shouldn't there be?<b,121<b,121I had a French bidder who said they didn't receive the record in the last few months too.<b,121<b,121I think they had private feedback. That always comes across as a red flag to me (Except Japan, where I think everyone has private feedback) but I still give bidders with positive feedback benefit of the doubt.
Tell me again about bad French bidders

This guy from Spain said he hadn't received the record and wanted a refund I denied stating I had to wait 73 days or so after the shipping date to file a claim with the Canadian postal Service and at the last minute he tried pulling some bullshit story about how the record in the sleeve wasn't the right one. Let's just say I ignored that and was in the clear by then because it was too late for a claim on his part. I think I got lucky on that one though.
at least the French are good at creating LULZERS DIGA RULEZ<b,121<b,121<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/hblJYavn760&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"1</embed1</object1

It's an extra $10.80 on top of regular Air Mail but it's the only way to track international packages. To my knowledge it will be the only way to win a Pay Pal dispute with an Intl bidder. <b,121<b,121<b,121<h,121[/quote]<font class="post"1<b,121<b,121And if he doesn't feel like it then I would consider paying it out of my own pocket.
The only way to avoid this shit is to never send shit in the first place. If they look like some shady fucks, they are prolly some shady fucks. If shady looking dude wins your record, refund his payment, sell to next lowest bidder and move on with life.
Ok so a little while after my first post, I sent dude the date I sent his package, along with three of the possible customs slip numbers (I sent 3 packages to France that day; dunno which was his). He thanked me, and said he'd contact his post office.<b,121<b,121Well today I get a Unreceived Item dispute notice via eBay, and a Deferred Dispute notice from PayPal. Apparently he didn't file his dispute within Paypal's 45-day period so it looks like I won't get a chargeback. I'm sure I'll get negative feedback soon, however.<b,121<b,121My question now is this: regardless of what I'm legally bound to do, what should I *ethically* do as a seller? I sent the package as promised, but he didn't want tracking or insurance, and he claims he didn't get it. Do I owe him anything (full or partial refund, future discount, etc.) as an act of good faith as a seller? Or is it just his tough luck? <b,121<b,121BTW the guy's feedback is 266 and all positive, as is mine, which is in the 300s.
