I know the op says you're not responsible for items that are failed to be delivered, but PayPals' terms say the seller is. Are you not accepting paypal as payment?
Cheers,
I'm not responsible if USPS loses your package. I will provide you tracking to show that I sent it. Once it's out of y hands but my problem.
What he was saying is that if payment was accepted via Paypal, then Paypal would make it your problem.
I'm sure demik knows how to properly pack his shipments, so this isn't likely to be an issue. Like I said, you can always use insurance. I always insure my shipments when I sell on eBay. It usually comes with proof of delivery, which is good for dealing with idiots.
Thanks for clarifying for me metalliqaz. Paypal says the seller is responsible for proof of delivery, not the buyer. So I just want clarification before bidding on whether you are going to accept paypal as payment, Demik. Sorry for dragging this on!
Cheers,
If it gets lost or stolen off your front porch, I'm suppose to take a loss?
If people want it insured, I have no problem adding it on for them. As long as they pay for it.
Tracking will be provided to US packages as there is nothing I can do overseas.
Anything else you want to bring up?
I wasn't attempting to be feisty or antagonistic or trying to thread crap, good sir...only seeking clarification as to whether you will be taking PayPal as payment, and if you are, that you cannot state you assume no responsibility for packages which are lost
in the mail because PayPal will force you to accept the loss and not the buyer. I quote:
To be eligible for PayPal Seller protection, you must meet all of the basic requirements listed below under (a) Basic Requirements. To be covered for Item Not Received protection, you must meet both the Basic Requirements and the Item Not Received Additional Requirements listed below under (b). To be covered for Unauthorized Transaction protection, you must meet both the Basic Requirements and the Unauthorized Transactions Additional Requirements listed below under (c).
...
b. Item Not Received Additional Requirements:
For Chargebacks, the payment must be marked “eligible” or “partially eligible” for PayPal Seller protection on the Transaction Details Page.
You must provide Proof of Delivery as described below in Section 11.4.
It is recommended that you ship the item within 7 Days of receipt of payment. Or, if the payment is for pre-ordered or made-to-order goods, shipment is required within the timeframe specified in your item listing.
....
11.4 Proof of Shipment, Proof of Delivery and Signature Confirmation Requirements.
"Proof of Shipment" is online or physical documentation from a shipping company that includes all of the following:
The date the item is shipped.
The recipient’s address matches the shipping address provided on the Transaction Details Page.
The recipient’s address, showing at least the city & state, or city & country, or zip/postal code (or international equivalent).
"Proof of Delivery" is online documentation from a shipping company that includes all of the following:
The item’s status as delivered.
The date the item is delivered.
The recipient address is the same as in the shipping address section on the Transaction Details Page.
The recipient's address, showing at least the city & state, or city & country, or zip/postal code (or international equivalent).
Signature Confirmation as described below if the full amount of the payment including shipping and taxes, is $250 USD or more
"Signature Confirmation" is online documentation that can be viewed at the shipping company’s website and indicates that the item was signed for on delivery.
I'm not trying to be a troll good sir, but, if you are going to accept PayPal as a form of payment, you, as the seller, are unequivocally responsible for packages lost in the mail according to the ToS, not the buyer. The buyer is responsible for what happens after delivery (stolen from porch scenario). Don't take it out on me, take it out on PayPal. Therefore my question remains the same: Are you accepting PayPal as a form of payment?
Cheers,
