Hi,
I sold a very expensive watch to a person in Mexico and sent it on 10/07/2017.
They paid via pay pal which I thought would cover both of us but apparently not!
I have a tracking number/with signature.
It missing as it stands on 11/07/2017.
I have contacted Australia post and they have tracked it scaned at Mexico city and then nothing with them opening a ticket with the Mexico post with no reply as yet.
the Bottom line is as follows.
I have been advised by Pay Pal that if it is not delivered to the address they will refund the buyer and debit my pay pal account basicly to bad so sad.
Can anyone give me some advise/help in how to go with this.

Yes silly not having insurance,but in my ignorance I was thinking Pay pal covers me if it was lost, which is not the case.

As foxy said - you are not allowed to add Paypal fees to any invoice.

Due to the vagaries of eBay/PayPal policy and the reluctance of Australia Post to pay out on insured items, many sellers (myself included) work on the premise 'Don't sell anything of greater value than you can afford to lose.
On top of this, scammers are becoming very sophisticated & know how to use the system for their own gain.
Hopefully your item is just delayed & it will still be delivered.
Good luck!

You are prohibited from adding any fees.
Your prices should incorporate your fees.
Might be a good idea to read up on ebay policies
Policy overview
Sellers are not allowed to charge eBay buyers an additional fee for using ordinary forms of payment, including credit cards and PayPal. These costs should be included in the price of the item and should not be charged separately.
