Making a claim through Paypal

[liegeprime]

Canada post is indeed atrocious, especially ground post. Dunno what they do there but it feels like someone walks from one end of Canada to the other end just to ship a parcel - on foot.. As everyone said, wait a bit more but don't let it reach beyond the 45 waiting period coz otherwise you wont get your money back.

That's funny cause I had a similar mental image or something like a Canadian mountie on a pony.

I purchases an item off ebay on the 25th Jan and it only arrived on the 29th Feb so i would say just wait a little longer. Thats my advice.

Hmmm... I'm seeing a theme here but I just can't quite put my finger on it...

Thanks guys

I tend to agree. Our Postal system is horrid. They take forever to do anything. Forget about filling a report if they damage something. They take forever to do anything. Was this package coming from Quebec?
Wait a little longer but do not pass the 45 day mark as stated. Escalate the claim on the 44th day at the latest. Otherwise youll be out $$.
Yes I hate our postal service.

Yep, one of the reasons I stopped dealing with anyone in Canada.
So slow, so expensive!

Nope, Lethbridge Alberta.

So did the stuff arrive Mr 5FDP?

[5FDP]

Nope, still hasn't shown

I logged a dispute last Sunday (which according to eBay was the last day I could do so) and immediately escalated it to a claim. Waiting to hear from Paypal now.

Not sure how good my chances are as I have read if the seller provides a tracking number Paypal will almost always rule in favour of the seller.

Only if the tracking shows that the item was delivered. I reckon you shouldn't have any problems claiming your money back. If the package ends up at your doorstep in a few weeks, you can simply send the money to the seller again.

I really feel for the seller though. Based on the info you've provided, I think he's just been let down by the postal services. Sea (snail) mail should really be phased out for regular private mail. It was ok back in the 1800's, but not anymore.

Yeah, I feel sorry for him as well. When logging a dispute it sends an email to the other party. I made it clear to him that I don't hold him accountable and I still intend on leaving positive feedback (he's already done the same for me).

So, does a successful claim involve Paypal invoicing the seller to get the money back? I assumed this would be coming out of Paypal's pockets, sort of like an insurance claim
