[MOPO] The Bad News: PayPal refund policy
Y'all,
PayPal has made some changes to the way it handles buyer complaints (now
called "disputes") if you don't receive the item you've paid for. There are a
couple of "gotchas" in the procedure now... I've been trying to sort it all out
and here's what I've concluded. If I've got it wrong, someone please chime in
and correct me:
1) PayPal now handles buyer complaints ("disputes) in a two-tiered system
now that eBay owns PayPal. The details are at: https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/gen/ua/policy_buyer_complaint
As far as I can tell, this is the way it now works:
A) If the item showed inits auction description
the blue PayPal logo that said it was eligible for the "Free PayPal Buyer
Protection" then your complaint will be handled according to the PayPal Buyer
Protection Plan, which has a LIMIT of $1,000 USD on the amount it will try to
get back for you. There is no processing fee for this, but if you paid more than
$1,000 you're only going to get a maximum of $1,000 back -- UNLESS you funded
your payment with a Credit Card (which is what I now recommend doing for
payments over $1,000). Details on the PayPal Buyer Protection Plan are at:
https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/gen/ua/policy_pbp
B) If the eBayitem did NOT show in its auction
description that it was eligible for the "Free PayPal Buyer Protection" then
yourcomplaint will behandled according to eBay's "Standard Purchase
Protection Plan" which has a LIMIT of only $200 USD on the amount they will try
to get back for you -- and they will CHARGE YOU a $25 "processing fee" no matter
what amount you originally paid(!) So if you paid $45 for the item, you're only
going to get a lousy $20 bucks back. This is a total rip-off, but is now what
you get stuck with if the eBay itemdescription did not
originallycarry the seal that itwaseligible for "Free PayPal
Buyer Protection" (it seems a lot ofeBay items are eligible for PayPal
Buyer Protection, but not all of them). Details on the pitiful eBay Purchase
Protection Plan are at:
http://pages.ebay.com/help/tp/esppp-process.html
2) The bottom line is that for PayPal payments over $1,000 USD you
should usea credit card to fund the PayPal payment rather than paying with
the cash balance in your PayPal account or with an "Instant Transfer" from your
bank account or "e-check".
Otherwise, the maximum you can recover is $1,000 USD. Non-eBay items are
also covered up to $1,000 -- as far as I can tell. If anyone knows differently
please let us know. But, if for some reasonan eBayitem was NOT
listed as eligible for "Free PayPal Buyer Protection" then the maximum amount
you can get back is $200and you will pay a processing fee of $25 -- not
matter what amount you originally paid(!). So, I would not even bid on an eBay
item if the description didn't carry the "PayPal Buyer Protection" seal.
So, for payments over $1,000, funding the PayPal payment with a credit card
is the only truly safe way to go, even though it means you'll end up paying some
credit card interest until you can get the money to your credit card company.
It also means that instead of filing a claim with PayPal that you can
dispute the charge directly with your credit card company -- which usually gives
you much longer to file a claim and doesn't have a limit on the dollar amount
you can get back. PayPal says that most credit card companies limit the time you
can file a dispute to 60 days, but it will vary from card to card, so you should
check into that with your own credit card issuer.
The final "gotcha" -- PayPal now tries to fund payments from your cash
balance first. So, if you want to fund the payment with a credit card instead,
you have to do this:
You can choose your credit card as your funding source when you get to the
last stepafter you have clicked on the SEND MONEY tab. When you get to the
confirm page, click the More Funding Options link.THE
GOTCHA: If there is enough cash money in your PayPal balance to cover the
payment, their system will NOT let you use your credit card as a funding option
for that payment. So, you may have to transfer some cash out of your PayPal
balance first before making a payment funded with your credit card. What a pain.
This is why I suggest people have two separate PayPal accounts, one for
receiving payments and one for sending them. Make the sending account a
"personal account" so you don't have to pay any transaction fees to put money
into it.
All of this is a pain, but surely worth it for the safety if you're going
to be paying more than $1,000 for something. Of course, this sort of hassle is
precisely the reason a lot of buyers will only bid on items from
well-established sellers that they know they can rely on.
In spite of all this, it is still better than the bad old days when you
just sent a seller a check or money order and prayed.

Re: [MOPO] follow up to JR's last post
Interesting possibility... all the more reason to use a delivery service
like FedEx, UPS or DHL for a large tube (or a pricey poster), particulary which
shipping from overseas. Those services will tell you at the counter if a package
is "too big" and they have much more liberal package-size regulations. Certainly
a 44" inch-long tube shouldn't give them any problems.

I recently [allegedly] bought a 40x60" from the UK and the seller tried
sending it twice through the Royal Mail and it got returned to them after
weeks each time with no explanation. It turns out the RM wouldn't take
packages that large although apparently the "rejection" only happens further
on down the line than the package counter so nobody ever tells you it's too
big.
Well, that's the story I finally put together
anyway. Happily the seller was believable and gladlyrefunded my
money once I decided somebody was trying to tell me something about that
("Day of the Triffids") poster...
It may yet show up back at the seller's place but I
doubt it will ever show up for you.

shipping.
I agreed, and I WILL NEVER

It is not a ton of money and I
will live but, if you buy from this guy, you are definitely rolling the
dice. From now on, with no exceptions, if a package is not here in
27 days, I will also file a complaint with ebay. JR is right---that is
really the only recourse.

Re: [MOPO] follow up to JR's last post
How do you do ground shipping to Australia? The main reason I don't ship my
frames outside of the lower 48 states of the U.S. is that there is no ground
shipping and air shipping is astromical.

Interesting possibility... all the more reason to
use a delivery service like FedEx, UPS or DHL for a large tube (or a pricey
poster), particulary which shipping from overseas. Those services will tell
you at the counter if a package is "too big" and they have much more liberal
package-size regulations. Certainly a 44" inch-long tube shouldn't give them
any problems.

Re: [MOPO] Shipping Blues
Sue and Dale,
Well, even within the continental U.S., as
far as I know, FedEx, DHL and UPS don't actually "ground ship" any parcels
anymore -- it all goes by airplane for the bulk of the distance tolocal
distribution centerand is then trucked to the individual addresses from
their.UPS just calls it "ground" becauseback in the old
daysthe parcelsused to go by rail and big semi-tractor trailer rigs.
It basically means the "slower" rate, without a guaranteed delivery date (but
almost always within 7 to 14 days, even for overseas).
Dale is probably right that it is an oversize
surcharge which is running up the price... but, I mean, there *must* be
some way to send them at a reasonable cost... surely the studios aren't paying
that kind of money to ship a banner or two to each theater?

Re: [MOPO] New member METROPOLIS ART PIECE
Thanks to everyone for such a nice welcome into the group, and another big thanks to those who sent encouragement and enquiries re my Metropolis aluminum sculpture. I'll respond to those questions below. I'm very satisfied with the reactions to the piece so farover 300 hundred hits! Dan: to answer your question, yes, I do also work in bronze. I'm actually thinking of making one or two Metropolis pieces in bronze, but the price would increase significantly; the cost for the metal alone is about 3 times the aluminum, plus it requires a whole new wax mold, a different foundry and unique finishing tools. Tom: thank you for suggestion, I will follow up on it as it sounds like a viable outlet. Mike: the studio logos would be cool rendered in metal, but I'm a little unsure of the legality with that one: I don't want a bunch of lawyers on my front lawn. Kirby: thanks for your kind words, and thanks for answering your own question. And to address a general question, I am committing to produce this piece in a limited number of no more than 25. I will be showing a few through galleries and art shows, but the price will be higher than the start price on ebay. This is a very labor intensive process, and the lead time for production is about 6-8 weeks. Again, thanks to everyone for your support comments.

Re: [MOPO] LET'S GET LOST.... AGAIN?
Hi all, Out of the blue yesterday, I received this question through the eBay ask Seller a question function on one of my own LET'S GET LOST posters I have offered on eBay, from penitentman83. Remembering Walter's experience of non-delivery on two lots of LET'S GET LOST deals, I thought I'd raise this here in case others get a similar offer. For obvious reasons, I won't be pursuing this following offer. A quick check of the bid histories on other LET'S GET LOST posters auctioned by this guy might make for some interesting reading. Here's what he had to say, pasted without any changes: *** Would you be interested in buying a job lot of Chet Baker Let's Get Lost Posters? I have 5 for sale that I would like to get rid of before the summer. I would be happy to set up a buy it now of £430 including postage. The posters are all mint, check out the one I am selling for an example, they are all identical.
