This happened to me a couple of weeks ago. I buy and sell cards on occasion and use the profits to try and fund my purchases. It's one way to keep my wife, who doesn't get my collecting AT ALL, out of attack mode.

So I sell a 60s-something Mays mid-grade card for $25, the buyer claims he never received it (I have no reason not to believe him; his feedback was good) and puts in a claim with Paypal. I don't require insurance (though I'm seriously considering channging that policy) and the guy of course didn't buy it. I tried to find a way through Paypal's maze of a website to at least tell my side of the story and let them know that I shipped it, but it was such a hassle I just gave up and refunded the money.

It's only $25, yes, but that's a lot considering I got the Mays in a small group of cards I bought to sell for a profit. $25 could get me a couple of low-grade T206s.
