No tracking, then your SOL.
That is why a lot of people only ship to confirmed addresses. Learn a lesson this time around and be thankful it was not a high priced item. Start charging for a tracking number from now on, or ship UPS.

UPS sucks but you get a tracking number included in the shipping fee's.

i may be SOL, but i suggest people watch out when selling. its not only going to me.

and as i said in the first post, the item is only worth $40, so how could i charge courier rates, which would be probably 3x the price of normal shipping? i mean, i'd never sell anything on ebay with high shipping rates. as would be the case as anyone else i assume

since me and the buyer are NOT in the U.S and the item is being sent internatioanlly, im sure that a card/signature confirmation is possible either

i ship plenty with the US post office, usually 2-3 day delivery confirmation or if its a expensive object i will do signature confirmation. on either of these you do get a tracking # to follow. any seller should pay the 1.00-2.00 extra to get tracking #'s just to cover their own a$$. couple bucks is better than being out 50+.

surely i would have paid the 1-2$ if it was possible to put the extra service on it, but where i ship from, thats not an option when sending internatioanl. either use a courier to do it OR nothing. just airmail or ground. since its internatioanl, i think signature confirmation isnt availble

hi everyone. well, i sold something on ebay, only worth around $40 but still, and the buyer payed for it and it was shipped by airmail. now the buyer was located in canada and it was sold from overseas, so there was no U.S postal or courier services involved (i'm not sure if that matters since paypal hq are in the U.S). now, he "claims" he didnt get it but i have the receipt. now, you cant track the package with just regualr airmail. so i think im screwed. i called paypal and they said they need proof the buyer received it. since it wasnt a big item, there was no way i could charge him the price of a courier or that he would even pay it, since courier shipping would be a higher value than the item itself. plus, when i sent it, there was no way you can ONLY get the tracking number if sent by airmail. when i talked to paypal, they said it will go in the buyers favor EVEN if he got the package and was a scammer, coz all he simply has to do is say he didnt get it and file with paypal that he received nothing. then if the seller cant prove the tracking of it, then its the sellers fault. now i can understand the logic behind that but...
1. whats to stop anyone from buying anything using paypal, even requesting the cheapest shipping method, get the item, claim he didnt, then get his money back????

and

2. what is a seller to do in a situation where the item isnt really worth putting courier priced shipping on it, like say an item $50.00 and less and therefore no tracking number, and then make sure they dont get ripped??

You are fuxored. tracking is for your protection not theirs. wanna use cheapest shipping pay my money order //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

what do you mean by using a money order? couldnt they still say the same thing, and that they didnt get it?

yeah but if you use a money order they cant file a claim on you //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif then if they dont pay for insurance or whatever its their problem.

If you pay me by paypal your paying for insurance and tracking in the price if you pay by MO I will send it by sheep if thats what you want to save $1 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
