Yup, I did read that in their policy a few days ago. The last thing I want is for the buyer to make double his money and get a free camera.

 

Having said that, the contents of the camera box will be back in my possession tomorrow so it appears unlikely that he would be able to make a claim. Presumably he would have had to surrender the contents of the package to Australia Post.

 

To be honest I don't hold much hope for the Australia Post investigation. I think my best chance in getting compensation lies elsewhere.

I think your odds of getting compensation are low.  But thats just my opinion, who knows, if the buyer tries this on regularly their history may mean something in an investigation.

By not advising paypal that a police investigation and an AP investigation and insurance claim was underway, providing them with details of each so they could verify and provide information to the police and to AP,  and requesting they do nothing that will interfere with these other investigations, will make it a tad difficult for investigation or claim processing as the buyer no longer has any of the evidence in their possession.
