In recent months, the approach of relocation / moving assisting, Mammoth has plunged the tube into his cabinet to begin a spring clean (in February, yes, I know, it's logical !)...
He sifted through his belongings: books, DVDs, video games ... and has set out to sell the stuff, gadgets that inspired him most. So far, nothing unusual, given that the mammoth is a big fan of PriceMinister (mammouthesques the amount of sales in six years time, astronomy is enough !)...
EXCEPT that history to accelerate the process, Mammoth has decided to also sell some items on eBay recalcitrant. With method of payment check or Paypal. Of course, all buyers have opted for Paypal. And this is where we laugh.
careful, eh, the mammoth loves to use PayPal, and it does not fully spitting in the soup (ugh, this expression is horribleuh!). Paypal to pay is better. Super simple, secure, fast, short, yay, long live Paypal. When one is YOU.
When we SELLER is something else.
Why? Not because of the costs, which are still quite reasonable (especially compared to fees charged, for example, by Amazon when you venture to sell something! Those, they are crossed vampires!) But because of a political cretin who certainly protects the buyer ... but at the expense of sellers. And that's where we enters the Grand Anything.
A small example illustrating the point:
Say Ms. Zig decides to sell a DVD on eBay. She is auctioning, and after ten days, Mr. Moo who wins the jackpot . Mr Moo has a choice between sending a simple letter and sending Colissimo, both options being offered in the advertisement by Mrs. Zig. Mr. Moo is mild satisfaction, but stingy, so he chose the l sending . He pays the amount due via Paypal Ms. Zig , which recovers its sub and reverse on his bank account, then shipping the valuable DVD box to Mr Moo, by letter SIMPLE so. Until then, no problem.
Except, of course, that Ms. Post has decided to complicate the matter misguiding the package. This, as we well know, never happens! (Ironically it) La Poste? Misplace a package? oooooh, but it's science fiction! (Ironic mode off)
short. This is our Mr. Moo that rattle because it has not received his package. He wants to believe in the good faith of this poor Lady Zig, but thin, he paid, and he received nothing, it's infuriating. So he started a complaints procedure through Paypal. And at that moment, ladies and gentlemen, it turns into the Fourth Dimension.
Because with Paypal, they are funny: not to be liable for loss of a product, the seller must prove it was sent. This is obviously not possible when sending SIMPLE. So, even if the buyer has deliberately chosen to send while sending SIMPLE FOLLOW proposed, the vendor is penalized and must pay back, brace yourselves, all of the shop: Basically, he not only lost the object, but it also has lost sub. All because of the Bermuda Triangle Post. You believe you?
The best part is that if the poor as Zig Madam, you are dispatched to retrieve them in your side on your bank account, Paypal allow itself to recover the amount due DIRECTLY TO YOUR ACCOUNT BANK! Without asking permission, of course, otherwise it would not be funny!
So yes, we will reply, "but it is to protect buyers of possible scams!"
Yep.
Except ... that protects the seller? Because of course, a seller can rip off a buyer by claiming to have sent something he never actually had.
But that will prove that Mr. Ms. Zig Moo never received the DVD box set, eh?
Moral of the story (unfortunately experienced): on eBay, forget the simple sending , only offer the Colissimo! But it's absurd, anyway, especially when we know mouarf then, that Paypal has been created by an eBay ... In that case, why do not they just needed to prohibit vendors offer single items, eh?
