I sold a PS3 on ebay a few weeks back. The guy signed recieved, and the ups tracking number proves that it was delivered to his residence. He then left me positive feedback saying how fast he got it. Then like 2 weeks later files a paypal complaint trying to get his money back. You'd think paypal wouldn't allow you to file a complaint if you already left positive feedback for the auction.
So, I sent the nice gentlemen an email stating that I had his address, and that he already left positive feedback and the tracking number shows he took delivery 2 weeks ago. I asked what the problem was, and sure enough he canceled the claim within 2 hours. I'm sure glad, because who knows what paypal would have done.
From now on, I'm only going to ship with signature confirmation required. I'll also insure the item for more than the auction. The thing that irks me is, the guy had like 102 feedback - it appears he closed his ebay account to try to scam me. If you can't trust a buyer with 102 feedback, I guess its time to stop selling on ebay...
