OK, now you lost me. LOL Which really isn't that hard to do. Hey, I hear you. The first 35 years of my life, I was pretty sure my name was "Okay-Now-Look-Here." -- Uncle Joe

Kelly, I have had my share of Ebayers having difficulty with paypal. Resend an invoice through paypal once the payment has been confirmed as reversed. You can stipulate it is an ebay purchase and include the auction number. You should have received a full refund through paypal for the paypal fees you paid once the payment is officially reversed. If you have any further questions, let me know. -- You don't stop laughing because you grow old; You grow old because you stop laughing!

Kelly, it sounds good that you got a quick reply from the buyer. I too have had a few bank reversals. They always make me mad, as it's like a month after the transaction, and for coupons you know they're already "spent." One the buyer used "send money" with PayPal to pay me, as it was just a mistake. Another just kept the money. I'm guessing you didn't get a DC for the order. I usually only get one if I get a bad feeling about the order--too many weird questions from the buyer, too many coupons for "free" stuff, or just too many coupons to a new buyer. It's a pain because the post office insists DCs are just for packages, so I have to stuff peanuts into one end of the envelope (so it's at least 3/4 inch thick) and pay the higher 1st class package rate.

Oh...another one...if you're sending overseas, get a customs form. It's >>free<< only takes time to fill it out and take it to the counter. But...it's proof of mailing in a PayPal dispute. It's scanned there at the post office. My husband won yes won a PPal dispute recently about INR with a customs form number. Aha! And don't ship to Italy! It always takes at least a month or 6 weeks to get delivered. We're looking forward to click Europe unclick Italy change that's coming! Lorna

I gotcha too Uncle Joe! Thanks! :) Lorna - I was wondering if you got a lot of reversals being that you sell so many coupons. I figured you didn't add DC to all those envelopes. Thanks for answering my question before I even had to ask. lol I agree, it's a pain to go through all of that for a few cheap coupons, plus it eats up most of the profit. I am very careful now though. Thanks for everyone's input! This has been a great topic! :) --

No, I don't get that many reversals, only 2 that I remember, maybe 3. After the first one, I wanted to drop PayPal! What's really the problem with mailing out coupons is I get complaints of non-delivery a lot. I've never failed to mail, just the post office seems to lose mail a lot. Whether that's true, or whether I get lied to a lot, is never provable as I rarely use many DCs: the .70 charge quite steals away the profits. I too get very cautious everytime I get defrauded for $25 worth of coupons. The temptation must be great for some people. For every $1 in cost, they're getting usually $10 worth of coupons--or money if you want to think of it like that. When someone buys $20 worth of coupons (my price) that is usually hundreds of dollars of coupon face-values, so not much difference from the buyer claiming a false INR for a piece of electronics. One good piece of advice I gleaned from reading Seller Central forum is sellers, after commiserating with the buyer about the missing shipment, have asked for the address/phone number of the buyer's local post office so they can file a mail fraud complaint, indicating concern that the buyer's package was "stolen". That "innocent" request has blown off a lot of buyers who thought to try and get their merchandise for free, judging by the lack of follow-up to the question. Lorna

[kalamazooclipper]

Ack! I'm cursed! I got a bank reversal today! The last one was so long ago, I had forgotten about it... The first one, the lady paid up, the second I had to unmark the transaction as paid, then filed an UPI. I wrote to the buyer, asking what's up. If he answers, it'll probably be okay & things will get repaired. Lorna

Lorna, print your first class shipping labels at PayPal and you'll get delivery confirmation for 18¢. Just be sure (like you said above) to make the envelope thicker than the coupons. --

Or she can also use an "irregular" sized envelope, which would make it a parcel as well. So if you get a larger envelope than the number 10, you will pass...also DC is now .19 cents through paypal since the May postal change of the rates. -- You don't stop laughing because you grow old; You grow old because you stop laughing!
