I'm yet another Ebay Power Seller dissatisfied with Paypal's supposed "Seller Protection." When asking the question to Paypal, "How am I protected when the buyer is verified and I ship via the buyer's request for least expensive shipping?" The answers we receive are "we are shipping at our own risk" or we "are protected when we provide tracking via the postal method used." Okay, so Paypal isn't protecting anyone - I'm either protecting myself or the postal service is providing protection. What happens when half the business you do is International and the Postal Service will not track the package? Why does Paypal not protect the Seller against any losses? We, the Seller, are doing huge amounts of business with Paypal - one would think Paypal would want to protect the Seller's against criminal activity from foreign business or possible loss/stolen packages. Instead, Paypal just takes the "word" of the buyer, with no actual proof the buyer did not receive the package, and removes the funds from the Seller's account. Now the Seller is out both the merchandise, the shipping fees, and the funds. Nice Paypal. Way to send your high volume Sellers out seeking their own forms of payment to avoid using you!
