Recently I received a dispute on PAYPAL which is about $700, and I approved the request and asked for a return. I noticed PAYPAL may make a full refund as long as the tracking number shows delivered.
Now the period for opening a PAYPAL dispute is 180 days, and PAYPAL always sides with the buyer if "not as described" cases are opened against the sellers. Those policies make me concerned about whether selling high valued items is safe or not on EBAY because the buyers can easily get their money back even they return a piece of paper with a valid tracking number after "not as described" cases are opened within 180 days!
Correct me if I am wrong. Thank you.

You just have to use your own judgment,some items are good to steal and quickly turned into cash-gold coins,gold jewelry,cell phones esp iphones.
you may want to look into other venues which allow you to accept non credit card payment like selling locally or pawn shop.
Paypal and Ebay do not know who is telling the truth,so the fair thing to do is to ask buyer to return the item to seller in same condition.
if item not as described is filed on Ebay,seller pays return shipping
