Paypal arg!!!!!

[Bert Kemp]

I did mail it to the person who bought it, and mailed it to the address he told me to mail it to, and have tracking proof that it was delivered to that address and accepted by the post office. All this info was submitted to paypal weeks ago and they still have a lock on my account.

I have spam from September that hasn't been deleted of yet.

When anyone wants you to do something outside the norm, you should take extra care.

Mailing something to an address different than the person who is 'buying' the item is the first red flag.

He was in Canada and had you mail to a U.S. address. To me that is a bit of a flag.

It is very common for Canadians near the border to have purchases from the USA shipped to a USA address. It avoids the brokerage fees charged by UPS and Fedex for shipping from the USA to Canada. A fairly high percentage of Canadians live within driving distance of the border. Some retailers require those with Canadian addresses to order from their Canadian website which often has higher prices than their USA website.

A coworker found out her sister has an inoperable brain aneurysm (or whatever), life expectancy 5 months. I am very sorry you have to go through this hassle at Christmas.

[Don Kondra]

you said if it just shipped it takes so long If you read my post you would have seen it shipped and was delivered in Sept.

My post was in reference to Gerry's wife shipping to Canada.

Read the quoted part above my reply to Gerry.

Anywho, the first part of my post refers to your PayPal issue, the second to Gerry's expensive shipping costs...

Cheers, Don

Could be the seat is still there at the ND post office? It's not going to fit in a normal PO Box and might have been placed aside. Who knows what happens when you have a boxed seat to kick around.

It sounds like it was not a confirmed paypal address but one he sent you privately by email ?

Not a good sign.

Good luck with your disputing this claim with Paypal..

Cheers, Don

Well I guess its all pretty irrelevant except I no longer can use paypal. The seat was delivered to the address he supplied in his name and the tracking proves that. He's never going to cheat me out of the money. I have the money he has the seat as far as I'm concerned.

A lot of us Canadians use those parcel services - and there are only a few in North Dakota.

All the ones I've used are run by stand-up people, in my experience. Call them up and they'll likely back up your story to Paypal.

Was it in Pembina, or Neche?

[Bert Kemp]

It was the Post Office in Pembina,, All paypal has to do is type in the tracking number and they can see when , where and to who it was delivered.

No way to prove the package was picked up?

Besides shipping to a PO is generally not advisable, sounds to me like the dispute is with the post office.
The USPS tracking is pretty useless.

I think they hold boxes for a time and then who knows where they go.

in order to have "seller protection" with paypal - you have to ship to the mailing address that Paypal has confirmed. Generally, it is the mailing address associated with the credit card on the Paypal account, though you can get other addresses confirmed.

I've shipped many things to Canadians that have dual addresses. Taxes & duties are very high in Canada, so if they live near the border, they have a PO box on the US side and bring their own stuff across.

So you got your money out of Paypal before they locked the account?

[Bert Kemp]

I don't have to prove it was picked up just delivered to where he said to send it'
Where else would you ship something if the have a post office box as an address?
USPS tracking is very reliable they scan it at every place it goes.

I never keep any money in a pay pal account why would you?
