Rules regarding pickup only and COD

[australian_coins]

Not sold on ebay for a long time due to my dislike of paypal but wish to list a few items that would cost too much to post.  I take it I can state pick up only and if someone buys and wants it posted I can cancel the sale with no negative feedback?

Also I do not have a paypal account but it seems ebay will not allow me to state COD only? If someone pays via paypal and I have no account then what?

Last thing is considering the items value is it right I ask anyone who pays via paypal to sign a document on pickup that confirms they have picked up the item and have inspected it to cover myself from false paypal claims? Might sound paranoid but it does happen.

Thanks.

It was dealt with through the local civil court, small claims in NSW. They instigated it, so I had to go with that. It was for $8,000.

The excessive amount I had to pay was for my solicitor. They had one, so there was no way I was going to represent myself. I did the first 2 court visits when I had to go to Sydney and I was way out of my depth. I speak medical, not legal, and as there was a lot of money at stake (by my standards), I wasn't taking the risk of losing when I knew I'd done nothing wrong. When I successfully got it transferred to my local court, I employed a solicitor. 

As I said, the PayPal thing confused me too because they hadn't paid that way. I don't know why they would have allowed that, but I just checked my paperwork and it was printed out from PayPal. Has got me beat!

Four hearings ? but you got it transferred.  Gosh poor legal advice there.

Civil matters of that low value are usually heard on the day.  Very rare that you  would need 4 appearances ....  No wonder you paid $$$ appears you got ripped off by your own solicitor in this tale.

BTW your own posts re eBay and Paypal involvement are inconsistent.... lol

My second favourite type of post.

The cover the backside, move the goalpost, one.

Only ever beaten by the flatout denial of what has been previously posted.

lol ...

heckle away ....

.. I will always post to rectify glaring errors in a tall tale that misleads others..

happy to also play along with deception to reveal the anomalies in their sad tale  ...

It still remains if you don't pay by Paypal you can't open a Paypal dispute, nor can one of your buyers ...

Paypal does not intervene in eBay sales where payment has been made by other means.  I can only imagine the posters memory on this is poor or they are lying.   I have chosen to give benefit of doubt and go with poor memory.

The first hearing was to see if we could come to an agreement/resolution. As I wouldn't agree to refund them, it had to go to the main court. They got dicked around by their solicitor and asked for more time, which was granted. I also applied to have the case moved to my local because the transaction took place here. My request was granted. As it was held at a new court, we had to have the resolution hearing again, which of course was a waste of time, then we went back for the main case, which I won. Plain and simple as that. 

Obviously, you have not been through the small claims court, so don't try and tell me whether it was handled right or wrong. There is always 2 hearings for these types of things. It was because it was moved that there were 4. I didn't take a solicitor to Sydney because it would have cost me more than my house, hence why I represented myself.

OK then, when I get paid next week, I will go and buy a flatbed scanner that I don't need and I will scan it in and show you. I don't know how they opened a case through PayPal, same as I don't know how they managed to take it through court as opposed to the CAT, but they did. End of story.

You have to realise that some members of the community have personal knowledge of all aspects of life, including a full knowledge of EVERY aspect of the legal systems, civil and criminal.

Your real life experience obviously doesn't match such knowledge.

How they have garnered that knowlege without spending time in gaol is open to speculation.

[thecatspjs]

Fact is paypal don't intervene if payment method was bank deposit or cash.

No amount of experience, knowledge or otherwise is required to prove that.

eBay resolution centre deals with these situations.

Yeah, I have to remember sometimes that some of the people on here should be nicknamed Booka or Google. They know everything about everything and are always right, regardless of whether they have first hand experience or not.

I've got the paperwork here, I lived it (unfortunately), I got through it and came out the other side. I really couldn't give a rats whether other people think I am right or wrong. I'm really not sure how if I printed the messages from the eBay resolution centre why they would have a PayPal website address at the top of the page, but I'm sure I will be told.

To chooks - lol - printing out from eBay resolution centre 🙂
