New paypal buyer protection program

[wanwanwhere]

Dear fellow ebayer seller,

How do you feel about the new 'buyer protection program' to be introduced 18 Nov.

I have absolutely no problems that buyers should be protected but I am really scared as a seller that someone can claim up to 6 months after sale. How am I protected, how can be sure that buyer does not abuse this?

How should I reflect this to paypal. I am really worried.

Normally a person would buy a book, read it, then decide to keep it or sell it themselves. With this new 180 day policy, they just get their money back, and still keep the book. Maybe they will still sell it themselves.

It's insane

I guess we will all find out what will happen. I am going to go about things like I normally do. If issues start to arise I will just stop selling stuff through paypal. If things are fine then I will continue, I bet their will be a few buyers who will try to and be successful for starters by taking advantage of this but I think it will settle down and buyers will realise they will lose many great sellers who offer the best and brilliant deals if they do try to take advantage of this. Don't worry now, worry if it happens to you. You maybe unaffected but some people will be, hopefully the honset sellers will all be fine!!!

180 Day is Joke

Even Auspost Not Keep Tracking Record Online For 180 Day

Any Courier Company Keep Tracking Record 180 Day?

I agree with you but until paypal sees it as a joke there is nothing we can do so why worry about it now. We are better worrying about it when it happens and spend our energy on it then. Let's in embrace the time we have left without it! Of course a large global company would do as it likes without checking smaller services like Auspost whether their services would match and be viable. It's typical big business making decisions for the majority while the minority could suffer from these descisions that is when they start amending policy to offer services for all. And that is what we will have to wait for, when or if it happens we all will have to unite and scream and shout to get things changed but until we have proof it is all speculation to them. They forget we only have the population of Los Angles.
