No you don’t. At the point that that package was delivered your relationship with that item ended
Well that’s not strictly true is it? Until this is resolved, the seller definitely has an interest in where the watch has ended up.
The buyer (also a bit of a plonker, however) paid for a watch and hasn’t got a watch.
The seller has been paid for a watch that appears now to be lost outside of the sellers insurance provision and also now hasn’t got the watch.
I’d be very surprised if PayPal were to uphold the sellers position and make the buyer pay for a watch he hasn’t got. Maybe the email instruction to deliver to a third party will help but unless it makes clear the buyer assumes all responsibility at point of delivery, I’d be surprised.
The seller didn’t lose it, the buyer didn’t lose it. A third party neither seller nor buyer have a relationship with lost it (by using uninsured post). This makes them liable for the loss. How did they admit to using second class post? If in writing, that’s all you need. Write to them and ask for payment. If they dick you around, take em to small claims.
No muppets were hurt in writing this post. 🙂
