PayPal does not help out sellers at all

How's this
A buyer buys the item. I send it to his address. He then contacts me and said that he wants his money back as I sent it via a courier and not aust post. I don't state it in my listing how I send it. He had not received the item. I said, that's fine, tell the courier to return it for a refund less shipping fees.
He goes to PayPal, tells them the story.
I provide proof of tracking, I have the courier run sheet, tracking number, everything and yet PayPal ruled in his favour as I stated that I would agree to a refund when the item was returned. PayPal gave him all his money back too.
So now, I have a neg, no product and no money. Where is the seller protection?

What you have to understand is that when it comes to PayPal each country and/or region has its own user agreement, and most of those agreements require proof of delivery, whereas the Australian agreement requires proof of shipping.  Furthermore, the person who decided your claim was not located in Australia.  Instead they were more likely than not located in some third world call centre - which doesnโ€™t even have a copy of the Australian agreement -  with the decision being founded on the US agreement.


 


I recommend you act as follows.  Ring PayPal and demand to speak to a supervisor.


 


Tell them that you have now obtained advice in connection with their earlier decisions and that advice is; their decision should have been based on the terms contained in the Australian agreement, and as such, as postage was proved, they had no right to remove the monies from your account.  You therefore require that they, within 24 hours, return to you all monies unlawfully removed from to your account, and if they donโ€™t theyโ€™ll be responding to a complaint lodged with the Financial Ombudsman Service.


 


Then if the monies arenโ€™t refunded in the time allowed lodge the complaint.
