Otherwise, you will probably eventually have to pay the money anyway,

You scum, you just pulled that one on a buyer back in March. But, since
you're a "God" seller, I'm sure you will work a miracle.
Always wondered what God sells for... Apparently under a dollar, it seems.
By the way, I checked around my mailbox, but didn't see any coins rolling
around. Evidently it didn't fall out here, but I'll keep looking.
Wasn't that why you posted your problem, so we could all be on the lookout
for your coin?
Bob, Phil and I recently bought a padded envelope that we thought cost 30
cents. We each pitched in 10 cents, but upon checkout, found out it
actually cost 25 cents.
The clerk gave us each a penny back, but after we started fighting about who
would get the other two pennies, the clerk said he would keep peace by
keeping the extra 2 cents in his penny jar
That means my friends and I only spent 9 cents each for the envelope. The
total was thus 27 cents plus the two cents that the clerk kept. (27 + 2 =
29). What happened to the other coin?

Quit selling stuff that attracts scammers (on either end of the

If he signed the delivery confirmation then he can't say it was opened,
because he would have seen it when he took the envelope in his hands!
Based on that, ***I*** (but this is not an advise to you!!!) would not
refund him and *if* he would leave me a negative I would present this
argument to eBay asking them to remove it!
It has happened in the past, I don't see why not happen again in your
case...

QED;-)
Insurance won't pay not because it shows delivered, but because of other
reasons. Insurance covers damaged and partial lost shipments when only
the packaging arrives, and not the item. But... Since it is becoming
clear you didn't properly pack the item, we can be sure that it wasn't
packed properly.
> shows delivered, and I
> don't want to get

Or a seller who doesn't know diddly squat about proper packaging of a
shipment.
> Surely this is not the only time this has happened to anyone.
Other sellers who don't package things well are sometimes smart enough
to simply realize their mistake and give a full refund.

OK, file a police report charging fraud. Also make it a federal case and
file with the USPS Inspector General's office. Then hire an attorney to
sue the scamming, cheating, lying buyer for a million dollars.

You are the complete MOOK - what's a measly $15??? Only a person with
very limited mental (and financial) capacity would consider taking a
nagative feedback hit for $15.
Until the amount of money gets relatively high, I wouldn't expect the
buyer to have to do anything. Nothing, nada, zero, rien.
It's part of the game, and no, life isn't fair. Too bad.

The recipient doesn't have to sign for basic Delivery Confirmation. AFAIK,
the postman simply notes that he delivered it to the address provided.
As you (may) know Bruce I don't leave in the US so I'm not so familiar with
your postal system/regulations, I thought that it's the same as "signed for"
in the UK...
But in this case I fail to see what insurance you have that your item was
really delivered; a dishonest postman could leave nothing in your mailbox
and fill the form saying "item delivered"!
What insurance I have against dishonest postmen in this case and why pay
more for a service that gives me nothing more than simple snail mail?...
Thanks for clarifying anyway.
Actually, the postman "zaps" the barcode on the delivery confirmation
label with a recorder "gun", just before he puts it in your mail box
or on your steps.
This is technology that wetback Roumanians illegally living in Greece
would likely have never seen.
oly
Paying for delivery confirmation here simply documents that the postman
claims to have delivered the package to the address on it. It doesn't mean
that the addressee received it. It could have blown away or been stolen
from the mailbox, porch, or doorstep. The liklihood of a dishonest postman
is very slim. Getting the recipient's signature for a package costs more.
I have been lucky so far with sending insured packages and have not looked
into the procedures to follow should the other party claim not to have
received a package I sent.
In Greece, government corruption is very very rampant according to
every native Greek that I ever met. Not that Gogu is a native Greek,
mind you. But a real Greek's mind probably cannot comprehend the idea
of government servants who apparently do their stated job for only the
stipulated pay.

Golly Oly! Maybe it was the coin / disabled / small pension (oh, pension
- I transposed a few letters and left a few off) that got me. I think
that narrows it down to a few less than seven billion. Now if the buyer
said he was a failed suicide that's milking off the government for all
it's worth would that be a bigger clue for you?

What do you know, there's a coin in my mailbox I wasn't expecting!
What are the chances? Tell you what, I'll sell it to you for $12 plus
$5 shipping. The shipping costs so much 'cause I want to be sure to
use signature confirmation, so if it gets lost I can prove you got it.
Call me.
If RF bought a coin on ebay, paid for it, and didn't receive it, then
he should get a refund just like anybody else.
No buyer should have to jump through a bunch of hoops set up by the
seller, after the fact, to get a $15 refund.
I had an $80 coin that I purchased on ebay very recently (out of
England) that didn't make it from point A to point B. We waited 30
days on the off-chance that it would still arrive, and then the seller
gave a full refund with very few questions asked.
It was a nice small 19th century silver coin, and I'd rather have the
coin than the money. Most real coin people would feel that way. Oh
well.
That gentleman seller has a perfect feedback record for a reason.

Faced with the choice between changing one's mind and proving that there is
no need to do so, almost everyone gets busy on the proof.
- John Kenneth Galbraith -
Or it was delivered to someone else by mistake and that person removed the
contents and dropped the mailer back in the mail. Or someone else had
access to the person's mailbox or mail.
>The delivery confirmation shows delivered,
Delivery confirmation just shows that it was delivered, not to whom it was
delivered. I've gotten several packages intended for my neighbors with
delivery confirmation. I just drop them back in the mail or take them to my
neighbors. I've even had cases where the mailman physically changed the
address on packages because it had my surname on them. They were supposed
to be delivered to one of my neighbors. It turned out she had a new
boyfriend with my surname who had just moved to the area and he was using
her address as a mail drop.
Make full refund. Move on. This is always a good business practice.
Sometimes it hurts but it is generally the best policy.

I don't think it's fair to suggest that someone buy insurance, receive
delivery confirmation
that the item was delivered, the post office rejects the insurance
claim, and yet you advise that the
seller give a refund. That just encourages dishonest buyers. No
seller can stay in business
giving out free merchandise to crooks!
Which is the whole point of the exercise.
If you are selling to crooks, you are selling the wrong things in the
wrong way to the wrong people.

Especially as the sum is small.
I once had an Ebay lot that failed to arrive at all.
Because it had been sent registered from Italy Ebay refused to
countenace any settlement. By the time the Ebay procedure went through
I was no longer able to send feedback as time had expired.
Fortunately my insurance company deemed that as it had left Italy
I was covered. Sadly, I have never been able to get those items again...

Frank entertained us for months, on more than one
occasion, about how he thought it was perfectly ok
to harvest email addresses and send them unsolicited
email advertising his phoney coins.
Any DRA will take one look at Frank and tell you
he's an alcoholic. I posted his TX DPS DWI traffic stop
information when he was on the way home from a coin show.
You, who seem to want to be his personal defender, ought
to know all about that. You're always right here to
pull your nose out of his ass and stick up for him.

Frank certainly looks unhealthy, both in person and in his ebay
portrait.
His posting habits here on RCC, the typically odd (late) hours - when
he is apparently managing to sell a few things - always made me wonder
what his recreational drug of choice was.
Now, I always suspected something other than alcohol. That I have
some sympathy for.
When Frank hasn't sold anything, well, then he shows up here on RCC at
more normal hours (apparently unable to catch a buzz which would
preclude him from showing up here until the middle of the night).
Frank ain't normal, he knows it, we knows it.
Again, I worry that our abuse will feed his apparent raving masochism
and could cause somebody to buy something from him out of sympathy.
