INR Case and NEG Feedback

If a buyer leaves NEG feedback then opens a PayPal INR case against you, will this NEG be removed by ebay?

No.

 

And if they open an INR then leave a negative, the same.

 

The advantage is with you, but. You don't need to replace, as I believe is your policy, as you have already been shafted and they can't do anything worse to you.

This particular buyer has a pretty miserable history of bad FB left for other sellers over an extended time.

And the two items she has shafted us for were mailed three days apart and she is claiming neither of them arrived. Remotely unlikely.

 

She refused to answer our questions, even to validate that the postal address was correct.

She has two other INR claims we can see in her FB left for others including one case where she claims that even when the buyer sent out a replacement that never arrived either.

So she either has the world's worst postie or something more sinsiter is afoot here.

She never once asked for a tracking number indicating she knew there was none as we use regular mail. We are sure she received them and knows she will get her refund from PayPal.

 

But I fear we are doomed to lose this one simply on the grounds we cannot prove postage lodgement, despite a stack of other evidence against this crooked buyer.

 

Anyone know how we put a case to the ombudsman? And who is this ombudsman? And is it likely to do any good if we try this?

Are there any other avenuse available?

You could try speaking to someone at Ebay but GOOD LUCK!!!  Just remember to put her on your block list so she can never do this again to you!

Oh yes she is definitely on our BBL across all our selling IDs.

... and yes Dave.

Our policy is to replace lost items after a few simple questions to establish that it is really lost.

This includes address validation and requests to check their local PO.

We also take a look at their FB history to see if they have any INRs showing there and of course this one did.

Once we establish those things we are happy to resend. Kinda self-insurance as we use regular mail.

 

If she had really gone to her local PO to check they would have asked her to provide a tracking number. She never asked us for that.

 

She refused to answer our questions and eventually hit us with the NEGs and opened the two INR cases.

Just kept on answering by just saying where are my items. And with the NEGs came an angry message making all sorts of accusations against us and claiming we accused her of being a scammer. No such accusation was ever made of course. Her guilty conscience coming thru I'd say.

The ombudsman is for complaints about PayPal, and to be honest if they uphold their terms and policies, there's not much of a case for complaints...

 

What you really need is evidence of the buyer dishonestly claiming INR so that you can report them for online fraud (but again, no solid proof, no real case, unfortunately, all you can really do is make a record of the issue, which will help if she keeps doing it and other sellers follow suit, or have already).

 

I would lodge the missing article investigations with Australia Post, hopefully her other sellers have done the same and a pattern will become evident to AP - I recall a couple of years ago a seller lodged an investigation and the AP staff member knew that person / address immediately due to frequent INR claims, never found out if AP investigated the person themselves and / or took any action against them, though, but if she has too high a percentage of claims, PP may take action against her account, so the more involved parties made aware of this buyer's poor fortune, the more likely they won't be able to get away with it for too much longer.

If an INR case is found in your favour by paypal - it is eBays policy to remove negative feedback.

If you can not prove post then you are highly unlikely to have a claim found in your favour.

I recall other threads where you have queried these same matters before.

In a way we are glad she opened the INR claim as this definitely puts it on her record. Just a bit unfortunate that we have had to cop a couple of big red dots to do it.
Now I just have to come up with some good words to neutralize the NEG s.
Any ideas there DG? You are very good at these things.

Clarry with so many missing items have you ever requested AP investigations?
