Can't you set up two paypal accounts to offer you some protection?
I have one account to which I receive payments but have no bank account stored against. When I've been paid I 'gift' the money to my second account and withdraw it from there.
Any dispute on the sale and Paypal wouldn't be able to just take the money from my account.
oldgit, I might have a bit of time next week, can't guarantee though, to pop round and have a word. 😉
Cheers for that.
I'll send you a mail for his full address when I know that I'll have time... He won't be expecting a visit. It could be interesting as a lot of MTBers here know me!!
Still says it's in Spain, got a feeling that's all it will ever say.
I said that 6 days ago at the top of this page.
If it doesn't turn up, you'll have to wait 90days and then you'll be able to lodge a claim against the Royal Mail who will investigate. When I did this the Royal Mail were able to prove it had been delivered and I received my refund (from a shop...it wasn't an Ebay/Paypal transaction).
I've got a bit of time tomorrow if you want me to pop in, or at least send an email to let him know I'm in the area and can visit. I put my email on another thread.

lol
Have you considered a career at the International Court of Justice? They could do with your dispute resolution skills 😆
oldgit - next time you're in eBay go to your settings any make sure you've got all countries apart from UK excluded for shipping - can't remember the exact way in. You can be quite flexible where you ship to.
Of course it never stops the occasional idiot messaging you saying "I've tried to bid but it won't let me. I'm in Lithuania."...
Oh, and anyone who plays up with me gets put on my blocked list too.
With regard to postage to Spain, it can be a bit shit. I sent a camera lens and bag to a friend in Malaga recently using Royal Mail Airsure. One day later the tracking said it was in Spain, two weeks later it was actually delivered!
Airsure you have to wait 20 working days before you can make a claim.
So you may be waiting on that money to be release by Paypal a little while longer I'm afraid thanks to the Spanish postal service.
Okay just enquired while I was in the PO, seems once it's in Spain there's nothing further they can do.
Foolishly I thought paying for it to be signed for meant I could actually find out if it had been signed for...but no.
don simon, address coming your way.
Ah no email in profile.
Got my money back, and the Spanish gentleman has left fantastic feedback 😯

😳 sorry missed that... 😳 (you could have chased me through other threads).
Glad you got a result. 😀
Don't worry.
That guy was bizzare, still can't believe he was chasing the stuff just 12 hours after paying.
And the feedback? it's like I'm the best Ebayer he has ever used.

That's the bit I don't understand. At about the same time I had ordered stuff from ebay from the UK and Turkey, after 2 weeks I sent them both an email to let them know the stuff hadn't arrived, not looking for an answer to a problem, simply to let them know. The reply was that normal post would take about 21 days to arrive, and it did.
I wouldn't let it put you off selling to the Spanish, just be very clear about the delivery time and be aware that they will try and pull a fast one, which is all part of the fun. 😆
