The fact that PayPal refunded the buyer might confuse the situation for the police if it ever came to that. I think he got away with a free Tudor. Hope that karma catches up with him. |

Currently I will only accept PP for payments under 10k. I might have to change that to 2k for international payments.

I was thinking quite the opposite, thought it was mostly respectful and very informative...

So glad for you. What was the base of their final decision? Did Paypal pay you back out of their own pocket or get the money back from the buyer?

PP did not disclose any details other than they made a mistake in the previous decisions. They refunded from their own pocket and I'm not sure if they're going to pursue the buyer to returns the funds to them...

heres my 2 cents. buyer seemed fishy for the only reason is that you can pick up a BB from a AD in australia for 3k AUD, so why spend 3.5K USD which is about 5K AUD?? and they are readily available. if it hadnt been resolved, i would have suggested that the only way to get a fake BB in australia is to order it from overseas, and generally pay with paypal. so there would have been a good chance if it was a case of switching the real with a fake that there would be a prior history of a fake watch purchase maybe on their paypal account. and maybe paypal realised this. so if things had not have been resolved i would have suggested to the OP to get the police here in australia to investigate his purchase history on paypal and credit cards for known fake watch retailers on his statement. a long shot, and one that now seems was not necessary |

Glad it all worked out! But you did get very lucky this time as you well know.
I would never sell by paypal or ebay as they 99% of the time side with the buyer. Usually they do not care for evidence, only that the buyer is unhappy and they want to make him happy. Sellers are ten a penny on ebay but customer confidence can be lost in a heartbeat if buyers are not sure of their money back so this will always be ebay policy - protect the buyer at all costs. The only possible fight you have against a bait and fake switch is you take pics of your serial number and card before you send it. And tell the buyer you will be doing so and show him pics of it on ebay before you ship it out, so there is some ebay record of the watch you sent out. Still not any guarantee of ebay siding with you. |

That's exactly my new process now, I take a picture of the watch serial next to the matching warranty card. I will also post through eBay messaging so there's proof if I have to fight it. |

I have to say, you're one of the very lucky few to have PP ruled in your favour. Thank your lucky stars and take a deep, deep sigh of relief :)

If you never sell via PayPal, then good luck on being a successful online vendor. A huge portion of buyers use PayPal BECAUSE of the added security. We want to know that we have some recourse in case the item we purchase is not as advertised. Of course this leaves a lot of room for scammers and those looking to abuse the system, but any business man will tell you "there is a cost to doing business". That is, you should expect loses through theft, shipping issues, scams, etc... A seller with an already established reputation might get a way with limiting PayPal purchases, but there is no way you could do that as a newbie. No one will buy from you if you only have a few positive references and only accept wire transfer. That's just plain stupid. There are many many sellers out there that will accept PayPal and thus give that added security to buyers Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk |
