Let's say you lived outside of the US and you bought something from someone in the US (under $100). That person expressed an uneasiness shipping outside of the US but you reassured them there wasn't a problem. You pay them for the item via paypal. The seller tells you that it's going to take several weeks according to the post office.
Now it's taken a while but you decide that the seller should pay you 50% of the selling price b/c the item hasn't arrived yet. It could be lost, stuck at customs, who knows. The seller refuses so you decide to pursue a paypal claim.
During this time, the buyer buys over $150 more worth of goods from the seller but has them sent to a location in the US and they arrive very quickly.
Here's my question,
As the seller would you be willing to pay back 50%?
As the buyer would you accept the loss as a loss since the seller expressed concerns over shipping out of the US?
How do I know he hasn't received it and that he isn't trying to get money out of me after the fact?
This isn't another I got ripped off thread. I sold some items and now the buyer is claiming they didn't arrive. He never asked for insurance and I was told by the PO that I could NOT have delivery conformation since it was going out of the US. He has now decided to have a claim against me via paypal. What suggestions do yall have? If you look, I have great feedback here, I have 100%+ feedback on ebay and I have great feedback on specops. Never once has something like this happened. Figures it would be when I ship out of the US.

. That being said, most sellers figure there responsibility ends at shipping, if the buyer takes insurance, then more power to them.
