They wil come after you for payment and have debt collectors calling. Do not know if they will put it on your credit report or not. I read that people say they don't. And you might not be able to use your PP account and any accounts you open subsequently. Any monies that come into the neg account will go towards the debt. They might even have your family members be on the hook with their PayPal account if they have an account at the same mailing address.
Small claims...I never heard of a case in which they did go after someone like that.
Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂

As for the buyer winning, it has absolutely nothing to do with availability of funds in your PayPal acocunt. PayPal will make your account negative and you will need to pay PayPal. If not, PayPal will sell your debt to a collection agency and they will come after you until you pay. Of course you will no longer be able to use PayPal.

No way of knowing, but my guess is that your debt will be sold to a debt colector withing months and then the debt collector will contact you perhaps daily until you pay.

Paypal wants online viewable tracking results,there is none for first class intl to the country,so you lose.
besides.if he loses ,he will do a chargeback.
and there is anothjer $20 per iphone.
It looks like your days of selling online and accepting Paypal is over/

Because you cannot provide proof that says the shipment was delivered. You negated the protection PayPal offered by following the instructions of a scammer from Azerbaijan.

If you don't pay the money then PayPal will sell the debt to a collector who will hound you until it is paid.
