Insufficient proof of delivery

Hi, for a second time I didn’t receive goods paid thru PayPal and after asking help to PayPal, and trying fruitless contacting a seller, PayPal sent me a tracking number as evidence of delivery. However the tracking just showed a package delivery to my zip code, which had obviously thousands of different addresses. Only thru USPS I was able to verify that the tracking number PayPal provided me corresponded to a different address than mine and it was a small package that the goods I bought couldn’t fit inside. How come PayPal accepts working with fraudulent sellers such these?? Don’t do a simple background check to see what kind of sellers PayPal works with??

You expect paypal to do background checks on every single seller / company / website in over 200 countries worldwide?

 

That would be impossible, they are only a payment processor and give 'some' seller and 'some' buyer protection, the rest is up to us to risk assess our transactions.


Disputes for non receipt of item are mostly automated. Seller provides tracking that shows delivery = seller wins.
So then its your turn to do some work to assist Paypal in recovering your purchase price from your seller.

Firstly ring Paypal customer services and tell them that the number is fake or that the item was shown as shipped before you purchased it. With that information they may well just issue you a refund.

Secondly if they don't then... APPEAL
To submit an appeal on the dispute that was closed, PayPal asks that you obtain a detailed report from the shipper/courier (on their letterhead or some other form of official stationary) that includes the address the seller gave them for the shipment. Or one that includes a statement mentioning your address and saying the item was delivered to a different address. THEY DON'T HAVE TO SAY WHICH ADDRESS IT WAS SENT TO, JUST THAT IT WAS NOT DELIVERED TO YOUR ADDRESS.

Check tracking in below link to see where it went.

When you have that, contact PayPal via phone (log on to your account and click contact at the bottom of the page, or via Facebook (send a Private Message to PayPal) or via Twitter (send a Direct Message to @AskPayPal) and say you want to appeal the denial of the dispute based on the shipper saying the item was delivered to a different address. Once it's submitted (you will be provided with directions on how to do that), the dispute will be reviewed further and a determination will be made.

You also have the option to contact your card issuer if you funded your Paypal payment that way and see if they will do a chargeback for you?
