 PS;  Just got our next scammer from THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION. I sent him 4 corner pieces that make up a frame and he is saying that there is only one piece in the envelope. When I started to question him on if there were any holes in the envelope etc. he stopped writing. We'll see if he comes back ... He could have pretended not to receive the item, [a lot easier to steal that way] but we included a customs number on Ebay and while it means nothing to Ebay/ Paypal, he wouldn't know that and would still see it as evidence of posting. So you see, even when you take photos of what you send and provide  tracking number FREEBAY SCAMMERS can then say that you sent the incorrect amount and put this under an 'Item Not Described' dispute through Ebay. Ebay will then DEFECT the seller and the buyer can return some of the order [COD], keeping the rest for themselves plus refund.

 

They will then leave NEG. because they were made to work for the theft and because the seller did not do exactly as they asked.

Uh, Russian Post is one of the dodgiest postal services in the world, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if he were telling the truth. Despite your bad experiences, I think you should give buyers the benefit of the doubt (unless they have a bad record or something), or maybe eBay isn't the place for you.
